Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls | Make Tonight, Bake in the Morning

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with gooey brown sugar filling and warm maple cream cheese frosting — make them tonight, bake in the morning! This easy homemade cinnamon rolls recipe uses active sourdough starter and an overnight refrigerator proof so you don't have to wake up early to get fresh rolls on the table. I keep this as simple as possible — everything goes in the stand mixer at once, no complicated steps. The dough rests overnight while you sleep, then bakes up soft, tangy, and perfectly gooey in a cast iron skillet. This is my favorite make-ahead breakfast for busy farm mornings. DOUGH INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup bubbly active sourdough starter (113 grams) 1/2 cup water (118 grams) 4 cups all-purpose flour (560 grams) 1/2 cup neutral oil (113 grams) 1/2 cup honey (168 grams) 2 eggs 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt CINNAMON-SUGAR FILLING: 1/2 cup softened butter 1 cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp cinnamon WARM CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: 8 oz cream cheese 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey 2 tsp vanilla extract Instructions: Mix dough, knead 2 mins, roll into rectangle, spread filling, cut into strips with pizza cutter and roll up, place in greased cast iron skillet, cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning bake at 375°F for 25-35 minutes until golden, then pour warm cream cheese frosting over the top.
