Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls

1/2 recipe sourdough bread dough (page 55)
6 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

FROSTING

1 tablespoon water
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 / 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Take each ball of dough and roll it out as thin as possible on a floured surface. Brush the dough with the melted margarine or butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Roll up the dough like a jelly roll. Cut each roll into slices 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. Place the slices 1/2 inch apart in a buttered jelly roll pan, cover with waxed paper, and let rise for 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while making the icing. Combine all the icing ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.

Cinnamon Rolls Closeup

I didn't realize that you could make cinnamon rolls with sourdough.

The sourdough cinnamon rolls are a lot easier than when you mix up a batch from scratch, because I've already got the dough on hand. My family all loves cinnamon rolls and they can hardly wait to eat them.

I ice them with my homemade icing.

I don't like store-bought icing on mine; I like to make my own. Sometimes I put a limit on how many cinnamon rolls the family can eat, or they'll just keep eating them.
