As I was enjoying some of my homemade sourdough bread the other day as a sweet treat toasted with peanut butter, I started to wonder if I could adapt the recipe a bit to make it a sweet dough with a glaze topping.  I think I've found something really great here!  The taste is similar to a donut, with a hint of that signature sourdough flavor that I've come to love.  These were amazing warm and fresh out of the oven, and oh so addicting!

If you haven't already started a sourdough starter, you should!  It is a frugal and tasty way to bake with yeast, plus you get some healthy benefits from the fermentation process too.  You can read all about how to do so here:  How to Start a Sourdough Starter.

Now, let's get onto this delicious maple sticky bun recipe!
Ingredients:
Dough:
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
Filling:
  • 4 T. melted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
​Topping:
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
Glaze:
  • ​1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 T. milk (depending on desired consistency)
To start, you'll simply mix up the dough using a dough hook or by kneading by hand.  The bulk rise will take about 3-4 hours or until it doubles in size.  

Once the dough has doubled, you'll want to take it out of the bowl and roll it out flat into a rectangle (as best as you can).  Prepare the filling and spread it onto the dough.

Next, you'll want to roll the dough into a log.  This will give the buns their spiral appearance once they've been cut, which is the next step!

Using a very sharp knife, cut the log into equal parts.

Place the cut rolls on a butter-greased cast iron pan.  I'm sure another type of pan would work too, but I've always had great luck with cast iron!  Cover and allow the rolls to rise 1-2 hours.

Pour maple syrup over rolls evenly.  Bake rolls at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.  Top with the powdered sugar glaze and store in an airtight container.

I hope your family will enjoy these as much as mine does!  What's your favorite maple syrup recipe?  Share in the comments!
