Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

Step 1

Mix starter with water in a medium-large bowl and combine well.  Whisk in eggs and yogurt, then add coconut sugar and mix well. Add flour and salt and use a spatula or danish dough whisk to mix dough. Then, use your hand to combine and massage in any remaining flour. If it seems a little dry, add a tiny bit of water. Pour melted butter overtop and knead into the dough.

Step 2

Use a dough scraper to remove dough from bowl and knead until smooth and soft on the counter. Place back in the bowl and let rest for 15 minutes, then do this process again. Place dough back in bowl, cover with compostable cling wrap, and let sit on the countertop at room temperature overnight. Dough should feel a little stiff.

Step 3

In the morning, dough should have puffed up while fermenting overnight. Be sure to remove the butter from fridge in advance, so it can soften up. First, get started by making your filling. Combine all filling ingredients in a small bowl. Mix very well with a soft spatula or spoon. Set Aside for a minute while you roll out the dough.

Step 4

Liberally flour your counter surface and use a dough scraper to remove dough from bowl. Roll dough out into large rectangle about ¼” thick. As you roll, lift and rotate the dough so that it doesn’t stick. add more flour to surface to prevent sticking if need be. Spread the filling over the dough and evenly distribute across the dough, all the way to the edges.

Step 5

Carefully roll the rectangle up into a long log, rolling from the long side so that you will have a long log. Carefully cut into 12 even pieces, then place each piece in a large buttered baking dish. Loosely cover with a towel and allow to rise for 90 minutes to 2 hours or until larger in size and puffier looking. Bake in a preheated oven at 375℉ for 30 minutes until golden, but not browned.

Step 6

While cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. Combine cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer and blend using the paddle until smooth and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes at medium-high speed. When fluffy, add the powdered maple sugar and mix until well combined. Drizzle in the cream while mixer is running. Frosting should be thick, fluffy and soft.

Step 7

After the cinnamon rolls have cooled for a few minutes, liberally frost the tops with the cream cheese frosting. Serve immediately!
