Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sourdough starter
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 egg (optional for egg wash)
- Cream cheese or icing for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, milk, sugar, melted butter, and salt until well mixed.
- Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle shape.
- Spread melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon and sugar.
- Evenly spread the fresh blueberries over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log and slice it into individual rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased pan and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- If desired, brush the rolls with an egg wash for a glossy finish before baking.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before drizzling with cream cheese or icing.
Notes
