Peaches And Patience

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 cup (227g) active sourdough starter

• 3/4 cup (170g) lukewarm milk

• 1 large egg

• 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup (100g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup (200g) brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

• 2 tablespoons milk

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a large bowl, mix together the active sourdough starter, lukewarm milk, egg, softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

• Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 3-4 hours, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Filling:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the Rolls:

• Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a 12x18-inch rectangle.

• Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

• Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.

• Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

4. Second Rise:

• Cover the baking dish with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the rolls rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until puffy and nearly doubled in size.

5. Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

6. Prepare the Glaze:

• While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

7. Glaze and Serve:

• Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

• Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
