We've been having quite the wintry weather. I couldn't feel more festive. Christmas is still weeks away, but I am like a child again, so excited for Christmas to arrive. Every December I take great joy in decorating for the holidays. Bringing in greenery from the garden, and hanging dried fruit
throughout the house. I adore Victorian Christmas traditions.
I have a mantlepiece where I like to do most of my Christmas decorating, with a swag of Holly & evergreen, candles, wooden decorations, and stockings for the children... okay, for us adults, too ;)
Every winter I bake these scrumptious sourdough cinnamon rolls.
They are so soft, sweet, and tangy. I just love them so much. The recipe is;

INGREDIENTS:
200g starter

160g whole milk

60g butter, softened

1T sugar

360g bread flour

10g salt

For the Filling:

200g brown sugar

1T ground cinnamon

For the Icing:

60g icing sugar

2T orange juice

METHOD:
Method for Cinnamon Rolls:

1. Mix all ingredients until no lumps remain

2. Rest in a warm, covered spot for 3-4 hours, doing 3-4 stretch and folds in that time.

3. Roll out dough into a long rectangle.

4.Spread 200g of brown sugar and 1T of cinnamon all over the dough.

5. Roll up from the long edge. Cut into pieces 5cm in length. Place in a lined pan.

6. Refrigerate over night.

Baking:

1. Bake at 350f for 35 minutes.

2. Serve with icing. Our favorite icing recipe is about 60g of icing sugar with the juice of one orange.

I hope you are finding ways to enjoy the darker days of (almost) winter. It's a great time to slow down, and find what little things bring you joy and comfort.
