  • 2 and a half TBSP runny honey
  • 2 TSP ground cinnamon

For the Glaze

  • 1/8 cup melted butter
  • 2 TBSP runny honey
  • 2 TSP ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Make the Dough

  • Melt the butter, honey and cinnamon in a pan on low heat
  • Add the sourdough starter to a large mixing bowl
  • Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl
  • Mix well then add the flour
  • Shape into a ball and transfer to a greased bowl
  • Let rise for 45 minutes - 1 hour

Make the filling (while the dough rises)

  • Place all ingredients for the filling into a pan and slowly melt the butter and cook the mixture until thickened
  • Turn the heat off and let sit until ready to use

Shaping the dough and rolls

  • On a large work surface, dust well with flour and pour out the dough onto the surface
  • Roll the dough out into a large circle
  • Pour in the filling and spread evenly around the dough
  • Roll up the dough tightly and cut along the rolled up dough about 2 inched apart
  • Place each roll face down on a greased baking tray and fill the tray up with the rolls
  • Put into the oven and bake at 180 C/ 356 F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top
  • While the rolls bake, make the glaze

For the glaze

  • Add all ingredients to a small pan and cook on low heat until thickened
  • When the rolls are done, pour the glaze liberally over the rolls and serve warm.

Notes

*Note: Sourdough starter has to be proofed the night before by feeding it and allowing it to sit on your kitchen countertop and ferment
** Note: If you bake at a higher temperature, the rolls will be done faster. Take them out as soon as the tops turn slightly golden brown on top
***Note: Depending on your sourdough starter results may vary. These were made with whole-grain Spelt flour and the sourdough starter is also fed whole grain Spelt flour.
