Becacine Sourdough Sticky Cinnamon buns

This is my next challenge with motherdough. I want to transform this ridiculously easy no-knead sticky buns recipe into using my motherdough sourdough starter. Lets try it now :

Dough

32 oz All-Purpose Flour
2 tsps of salt
12.5 oz Becacine motherdough sourdough starter
12.5 oz cups lukewarm water
2 large eggs
1.5 oz honey
1.5 oz melted butter or olive oil

Mix Becacine with water, add the flour and mix just enough to wet. Cover with plastic sheet and place in a warmed oven, turned off. Let it rise to double size, about 3 hours. Started at 9h39 am.

Prepare your pan with the topping ingredients below, put aside.

Pan prepared for the sticky buns

At noon time (3 hours later or so) , take it out of oven, add 2 eggs, the salt, sugar and butter or oil. Mix together.

Dough after first rise, 12h03 pm

Roll the dough on an oily surface, to form a rectangle. Mix the filling together and spray evenly on the dough. Starting from the wider side, roll it and cut it.

Put the pieces in the prepared pan and let it rise, covered with a plastic sheet. Turn the oven on at 350 F . Calculate the time so the total rising from start to finish doesn’t go over 4 hours.

12h33pm shaping and putting in prepared pan

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

Topping

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Conclusion : I did it. The thing to pay attention to is : the length of the proofing of the mothersourdh starter, so that it does not go over 4 hours. The rest is all ‘peachy’. The buns came out very soft and sweet to the taste. There were plenty of syrup at the bottom and the filling was jut right. I ended up with too much dough so I made a Sourdough Chocolate boule with the rest, post here.
