WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT?

How are they different than other sourdough cinnamon roll recipes? Brown butter in the filing and frosting is the secret ingredient that makes these rolls stand out.

WHAT IS BROWN BUTTER?

Brown butter is  butter that has been cooked down past its melting point to give it a golden brown color and a warm nutty flavor.

How Do You Make Brown Butter?

What is a Sourdough Starter?

The dough for this recipe rises using sourdough starter instead of  baker’s yeast. If you’re not sure what a sourdough starter is, check out my “How to Make a Sourdough Starter” post to learn all about it.

Will They Take Long to Make>

Because these rolls use sourdough starter, which has long rise times, it allows you a convenient overnight rise that will give you warm gooey cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Can I Make Them Ahead of Time?

To make cinnamon rolls to bake later, cover the pan of unbaked rolls tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, or place them in the freezer for up to a week.
