• Sourdough Starter: A bubbly starter gives the dough its unique depth of flavor; make sure it’s active!
• All-Purpose Flour: Use high-quality flour for better structure; organic is always a nice touch.
• Unsalted Butter: Brown it until it becomes golden and nutty; this adds richness to the rolls.
• Brown Sugar: Opt for dark brown sugar to enhance the caramel notes in the filling.
• Cinnamon: Freshly ground cinnamon elevates the flavor; skip the pre-ground stuff if you can.
• Milk: Use whole milk for creaminess; it’s essential for a soft dough.
• Yeast: Instant yeast works best; it eliminates waiting time while ensuring fluffy rolls.
• Salt: A must-have to balance flavors; don’t skip it!
• Eggs: They help enrich the dough and add moisture; use room temperature eggs for best results.

Let’s Make it together

Get ready to embark on this delightful baking adventure!

Create the Dough: In a large bowl, combine your active sourdough starter with warm milk and melted brown butter. Mix until well combined and fragrant. Add flour, yeast, salt, and eggs gradually while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead Like You Mean It: Transfer your dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You want it to feel like a soft pillow under your hands—this is crucial for those fluffy rolls.

Let It Rise!: Place your kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size—about 1-2 hours depending on room temperature.

Roll it Out!: Once risen, punch down the dough gently before rolling it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface. This is where the magic begins!

Add Your Filling!: Spread softened brown butter over the rolled-out dough generously before sprinkling brown sugar and cinnamon evenly across its surface like you’re sprinkling love everywhere.

Shape Those Rolls!: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Cut into equal pieces (about 1-2 inches) using a sharp knife or dental floss—trust me; this works wonders without squishing them!

Bake Away!: Place your cut rolls into greased baking pans with some space between them so they can puff up beautifully while baking. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for around 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

And there you have it! The scent alone will have everyone flocking to the kitchen like moths to a flame.

Once cooled slightly (if you can resist), drizzle with icing or enjoy plain—the choice is yours!

Now grab yourself some coffee (or tea if that’s more your style) because it’s time to indulge in these Mini Brown Butter Sourdough Cinnabons! Happy baking! For more inspiration, check out this Classic Patty Melt recipe.
