Instructions

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls 2 Ways

  • In a large bowl, combine the 1 to 1 flour, potato starch, cassava flour, yeast, baking soda and salt. Add the sourdough starter, honey, warmed almond or whole milk, and softened butter. Stir until thoroughly combined. 
  • Add the egg and mix in completely. The dough will be somewhat soft and “shaggy” in texture, not super smooth. Cover with cellophane and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough is about 1 ½ times the size. 
  • While the dough is rising make the fillings.
  • When the dough is approximately 1 ½ times the size, flour a board very generously with cassava flour. Scoop the dough onto the floured board. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes adding in some of the cassava flour from the board or adding a half or a tablespoon of cassava flour. Flour a piece of parchment. Move the dough to the parchment and pat out to a 10 ½ x 9 ½ inch rectangle. 
  • Add the cinnamon sugar filling to half of the dough and pumpkin spice to the other half of the dough. Sprinkle the pecans over the pumpkin spice portion. Drizzle the remaining 2 ½ tablespoons of melted butter over the fillings.
  • Roll up on the long side, using the parchment to help roll the dough. At the end of the rolling, roll off the parchment onto the board. Cut into ¾ inch pieces and place in a buttered or oiled parchment lined skillet or baking dish. Place cut side down. Leave just a small amount of space between the rolls. 
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven in the center of the oven, for 25-30 minutes. Make the Light Cream Cheese Glaze while the rolls are baking.
