Cinnamon Rolls

These days - during the pandemic social distancing, work-from-home, stay home era - I have been doing a lot of baking and cooking.

My friend Sandi from Dawson shared her Sourdough Starter with me a couple of weeks ago, and my favorite thing to make with it is cinnamon rolls!  Using dough that has been rising overnight or for at least 8 hours, knead the dough on a floured surface and roll it to about 1/2 inch - roll it loosely to the shape of a rectangle.

Melt 1/4 cup of butter and spread over the dough.

Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 and 1/2 TBSP cinnamon. spread this mixture evenly over the butter.
Roll the dough starting with the longest end.

Once you've finished rolling the dough, use a pastry blade or a butcher knife to cut 1 inch sections.  

 Place on a greased cookie sheet about an inch apart. Cover with plastic wrap and set on your kitchen counter to let the dough rise for at least 8 hours.

 This is what it looks like after I let the dough rise overnight. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. 

Let cool for about 5 minutes before icing.  My favorite icing recipe is this one from all recipes.
