My sourdough bread is keeping me busy . . and probably adding a few pounds. Over the weekend, I decided to make cinnamon rolls using the starter.
I also made a loaf of crusty bread and a loaf of seeded bread for slicing.
The recipes from Classic Sourdough Revised recommend letting the dough rise the first part of the time at room temp and then the last part of the time at a higher temp . . at 85º to 95º. Now that we have the table on the porch . . perfect place to let my dough rise. I covered it with double layers of dish towels because I surely didn’t want the grasshoppers to devour my dough . . especially the cinnamon rolls!
Good bread! Good cinnamon rolls! I love living at my house! 🙂

Ok – I feel silly but . . . what a “starter”? And how do I get one?
D. Clear says
A starter is a concoction of yeast, milk, flour and sugar. It is like a base to make homemade bread. Check out the link below.

Carolyn says

nancy says
Where/how do you find time to do all that you do? Homemade bread and rolls are the best. I can taste the cinnamon just looking at the picture.
Lynne in Hawaii says
I want smellavision! Or maybe not…I’m having uncontrolled drooling without it! The bread and rolls look delicious!
Valerie says
Judy, my son and I both are kind of into making sourdough. This link has a great way of doing an artisan type round loaf if you are interested. Your cinnamon rolls sure look tasty!

Judy, I was just in Alaska and they had packages of sourdough starter for sale in every gift shop. I thought of you every time I saw them because I knew you had some started.

I don’t know how I missed this post yesterday. Oh those cinnamon rolls look good, well it all does, but I’m partial to cinnamon rolls and I haven’t had GOOD Home Made c. rolls in I can’t tell you how many decades … and the last time I had Cinnabon they just weren’t that good anymore! and I don’t have an oven to make any! Hmmmm, maybe I should invest in a solar oven 😉
