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