Potato Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls
Sweet and fragrant cinnamon rolls with a unique potato sourdough flavor, filled with brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and topped with a rich powdered sugar glaze. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Divide the potato sourdough bread dough in half.
- Roll each portion into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle.
- Spread each rectangle with 1/4 cup softened butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1/4 cup raisins.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of nutmeg or cardamom to the filling. If you don't have raisins, chopped nuts or dried cranberries can be delicious substitutes. Make sure your butter is soft enough to spread easily; if it's too hard, you can microwave it for a few seconds. For an extra touch, try using half brown sugar and half maple syrup in the filling.
Serving Suggestions
These potato sourdough cinnamon rolls are best served warm, drizzled with a simple icing made from powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or brunch. Consider serving them alongside a fresh fruit salad or a slice of Plain Pound Cake Or Christmas Light Fruit Cake for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes to restore their softness and gooeyness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the potato sourdough bread dough in advance. After the first rise, shape it into rolls and refrigerate overnight. Just allow them to come to room temperature and rise again before baking.
How can I make these rolls even more decadent?
For a richer taste, add a cream cheese frosting on top after baking. Simply mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and a splash of milk for a smooth, spreadable consistency.
What should I do if my dough isn't rising?
If your dough isn't rising, make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly. Additionally, ensure the dough is in a warm, draft-free environment. You can also give it more time to rise, as sourdough can take longer than commercial yeast.
