- Warm butter and milk until the butter is melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and add the milk-butter mixture.
- Knead the dough in a stand mixer for 5 mins. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for at least 1 hr or until visibly risen.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C) and grease a cast-iron skillet or baking dish.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle (16"x12" / 40×30 cm).
- In a small bowl, mix together soft butter, sugar and cinnamon.
- Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a ½" (1cm) border.
- From the short side, roll the dough into a tight log.
- With a knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 even pieces. Transfer the pieces upright to the prepared pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 mins.
- Bake the cinnamon roll for 30 mins or until golden-brown.
- Whip together the warm cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Notes
- be sure to have a very active sourdough starter
- you can also long-ferment the dough in the refrigerator overnight or for 8 hours
- the internal temperature of the cinnamon rolls should be about 190˚F (88˚C)
