Description

Mini Brown Butter Sourdough Cinnabundts are a delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls, featuring a rich brown butter flavor and a subtle tang from sourdough. Baked in bundt molds, they’re perfect for individual servings with a beautiful presentation.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for filling)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp milk (for glaze)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the sourdough starter, lukewarm milk, egg, granulated sugar, salt, and browned butter until well combined.
  2. Gradually add flour and knead until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Perform 2–3 stretch and folds over 1 hour, then cover and let the dough ferment overnight at room temperature (8–10 hours).
  4. Next morning, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Roll tightly into a log and cut into small pieces (about 1–1.5 inches).
  7. Place each roll into greased mini bundt molds, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours or until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before removing from molds.
  10. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make glaze. Drizzle over warm cinnabundts and serve.

Notes

  • For a stronger sourdough flavor, extend the bulk fermentation time.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra texture.
  • Brown butter adds a rich nutty flavor—don’t skip this step!
