Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, lukewarm milk, melted butter, egg, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add flour and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-8 minutes.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise for 2-4 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle. Spread softened butter, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Roll tightly into a log and cut into 10 pieces. Arrange in a greased baking dish and cover for 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls.
