Instructions
Step 1 – FEED STARTER/MAKE THE LEVAIN
- Take 120g of your sourdough starter and feed it 120g bread flour + 40g water + 20g sugar
- Wait for it to 3x in size –it will be ready when the top stops doming and starts to crater a little
Step 2 – MIXING
- In your stand mixer, mix ingredients (except the butter) just until you get a windowpane
- Then add in the butter. Mix until you get a windowpane (mixer at speed 2 for around 10-16 min)
Step 3 – BULK FERMENTATION/1st RISE
- Roughly shape the dough into a taut ball and put it in a greased bowl
- Bulk proof for 4hrs at 74F (gauge time if your room is cooler or warmer)
Step 4 – COLD PROOFING/2nd RISE
- Degas and cold proof in your fridge overnight (~8hrs)
Step 5 – SOURDOUGH SHAPING
- Prepare your filling
- Shape your dough by rolling it out into a rectangle, ½ inch thick
- Spread your filling evenly, leaving a ½ inch border on the sides
- Gently roll into a log from the bottom up
- Slice the roll in 1-2″ segments (however tall you like!)
Step 6 – FINAL PROOFING/3rd RISE
- Put the sourdough cinnamon rolls on baking pan lined with parchment paper,
- Final proof this for 4-6hrs at room temp (74F),
Step 7 – SOURDOUGH BAKING
- Time to bake when it’s risen and jiggly, *almost* doubled in size
- Egg-wash and bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 20-35 min (meaning, check on it every 5-10 min at the 20 min mark)
