Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter Make sure it's active for best rising
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water Temperature should be around 110°F (43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Filling
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
For the Drizzle
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk Adjust for desired consistency

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your active sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and salt.
  2. Gradually add in the flour until it forms a soft dough.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
  8. Slice the log into rolls and place them snugly in a greased baking dish or on a baking tray.
  9. Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel once more and let them rest for an additional hour.
  10. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. While the rolls cool, whisk together powdered sugar and milk. Adjust for desired consistency.
  12. Once cooled slightly, drizzle the sugar mixture over the rolls and serve.
