Sourdough Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Topping

100% Whole wheat sourdough, sugar-free cinnamon rolls!
When I first made this recipe I was SHOCKED about how fluffy, delicious, and pretty they turned out!!! 
It’s made with whole wheat sourdough starter, and whole wheat flour, so you can take advantage of all the amazing health benefits whole wheat flour has to offer. It’s also sugar free!!! We use honey or maple syrup as a healthier alternative. 


Prep Time: 20 mins 
Cook Time: 25 mins
Rising Time: 13 hs - 1 d 
Total Time: 1d 45 mins 

Ingredients:
• 125 g Sourdough Starter - bubbly and active
• 175 g water
• 540 g whole wheat flour
• 86 g coconut oil - melted
• 168 g honey
• 2 eggs room temp
• 1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

Cream Cheese Topping:
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1/4 C butter

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine active sourdough starter, flour, honey, water, eggs, melted coconut oil, and salt. Mix together until smooth.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a beeswax wrap or plastic wrap.
  • First Rise: Allow to rest in warm place (around 85 degrees - like an oven with the light on) for up to 6 hs. I personally do around 4 hs.
  • Lightly dust the counter with flour, and roll out the dough into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
  • In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, honey, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  • Add butter and cinnamon-honey filling to the top of the dough and spread evenly. 
  • Roll the dough up as tightly as you can.
  • Slice to make 12 even rolls. 
  • Place the rolls into a lightly greased baking dish.
  • Second Rise: cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the oven (turned off) overnight or for up to 12 hs.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned and the dough is cooked through. Allow them to cool.

Cream Cheese Topping:
• Add cream cheese, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a small bowl, mix until combined. Spread on top of the warm cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!!!

With much Love,
