Guest Post – Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Today I have invited my cousin Megan’s daughter Keirsten to do a guest post. Keirsten is almost 15 (close in age to Lizzy) & loves to cook and bake.
Today I decided to surprise my family with cinnamon rolls but, I had some sourdough starter that I needed to use today, so I decided to make Sourdough cinnamon rolls. Some things you need to know about this recipe is that it takes a while for them to rise and some factors are not as sweet as others.Since this recipe took awhile to rise, it was more of a brunch than a breakfast. My mom kept saying, “are they done yet?,” Yeah we were starving and I was trying to get everything together as quickly as possible.
This is all of the ingredients for the dough.
I added sugar, butter, sourdough starter, and eggs. While the egg mixture was being mixed in, I warmed up milk and yeast that had to sit for 5 min. At first I added too much yeast, but that was an easy fix. 
I added three cups of flour and then I had to let it sit for a hour, only to punch it to release the air bubbles and let it rise for another hour. 
While the dough was rising, I made the filling which was brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. 
After the dough rose, I had to roll it out so I could spread the filling onto it. 
After I spread the filling, I had to roll them up and cut it into 1 in rolls.
For the glaze I just had to stir in powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. 
When the cinnamon rolls are done, just put your glaze on and enjoy!!
