Time 1h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup sourdough starter, freshly fed
1/4 warm water
1 teaspoon yeast (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten (optional)
2 -3 cups all-purpose flour (1/2 wheat can be used with the white)
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 -2 tablespoon milk
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Measure the sourdough starter into the large mixing bowl for a Kitchaid Mixer. Add the salt, sugar, melted butter, dry milk powder and eggs and with dough hooks, combine well.
  • If using the yeast, add to 1/4 cup warm water and allow to stand 5 minutes and then add to the sourdough mixture.
  • Gradually add the flour and wheat gluten till the dough forms a ball. It should be soft but not sticky.
  • Turn out onto lightly floured surface and need until smooth and elastic, place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Allow to rise until double. The length of rise will depend upon how active your starter is and whether you used the commercial yeast.
  • Punch dough down and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 18 x 20 inch rectangle. Spread the dough with the softened butter and the brown sugar that has been mixed with the cinnamon. Sprinkle with the dried cranberries and chopped pecans.
  • Starting on a narrow end, gently roll the dough into a log. Using a bread knife, slice the dough into 12 equal slices, place in a 9 x 12 inch pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool while preparing the frosting.
  • For the frosting, beat together all the ingredients except milk until light and fluffy. Add in enough milk to make an easy spreading consistency. Spread over the rolls and enjoy.
