Instructions
- Prepare your sourdough starter to ensure it is active and bubbly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar until dissolved. Add sourdough starter and egg, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 16x12 inches.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk, drizzle over rolls after baking.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
