Sourdough Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls and Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party

The Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party is growing by leaps and bounds lately and I have to say THANK YOU! Both to my co-hosts and most importantly the bloggers that come and link up and share the love every week. Before we get to the party this week I need to share this recipe.

Since I had the sourdough pot bubbling last week for some Overnight Sourdough Bread and the Sourdough Soft Pretzel Bites, I thought I would make a batch of these Sourdough Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls.

I first made this recipe last December for the Crazy Ingredient Challenge: Cranberry and Gingerbread Spice. But I ended up linking the Cranberry Brie Bites instead. I have been holding on to this recipe to publish when cranberries are back in season or only the people that wisely buy extra bags of cranberries every year and freeze them would be able to make them.

The recipe is modified from Alaska Sourdough by Ruth Allman.

This is a great book for sourdough lovers and people new to sourdough cooking. Except for this recipe…

In my 1976 edition, it is a challenge to follow because it adds ingredients in the directions that are not listed in the ingredient list so I had to guess at amounts. Perhaps it has been updated in later editions. I also made a few other tweaks to it (adding cinnamon and the icing in place of a brown sugar bread crumb topping).

The best way to get sourdough starter is to get some from someone else. If that is not an option you can make your own, but it will take weeks or even months for it to be ready to use. Sourdoughhome.com has a great method for making your own starter as well as instructions for maintaining it once it is nice and bubbly.

The biggest problem with these is the same as most cinnamon rolls, the long rise time makes it almost impossible to enjoy for breakfast unless someone wants to get up ultra early to make them. UNLESS… you parbake them. I split my latest batch in half, each half in a separate round pan. One pan I pulled out of the oven after 10 minutes, let it cool then put it in a freezer bag. When I am ready to serve them again, I will take them out the night before to defrost in the fridge and then bake for another 10-15 minutes in the morning.
