Ingredients
Dough
1 3/4c warm water
1c active starter
1/4c melted butter
1 egg
1/3c white sugar
1 cup shredded carrots
1 teaspoon all spice
6c bread flour
Roll Filling
1/2c brown sugar
1/2c white sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp all spice
3/4c soften butter
Cream Cheese Frosting
8oz cream cheese room temp
2c powdered sugar
2 tbsp heavy cream
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
Directions
In a stand mixing bowl add the water, egg, sugar, active starter, butter, carrots and all spice. Mix until combined.
On low speed, using a dough hook, start adding the flour one cup at a time. You may need less or more depending on how you scoop your flour. Run the mixer on medium low for about 3-5 min. Your dough should be slightly sticky.
Cover your dough and let rest in warm area for 6-7 hours. If you're making it at night you can let it sit in the counter until the next morning.
In a bowl start to make the roll filling.
Add the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, all spice and cinnamon. Add a sprinkle of flour so that it stays thick when it cooks.
Once the dough has proofed turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle. Depending out how you like your cinnamon rolls you'll roll it out differently. For thicker layers roll it out less to keep the dough thick. For more layers roll out the width more.
Now spread the filling all over the dough leaving out 1/2" on the bottom edge.
Once the filling is evenly distributed start rolling the dough toward you until in rolled all the way.
Then cut 1 1/2 - 2" pieces using a serrated knife.
Butter a 9 x 12" loaf pan and place 6 pieces evenly in the pan. I normally have a couple left over and I stick them in a smaller pan. Cover with a towel and let rise an additional 30min - 1hr.
Preheat the oven to 375.
If you want more gooey rolls drizzle heavy cream over them before baking. If you choose to add this make sure you add an additional 10min to the cook time.
Now bake the rolls for about 20-25min (35min with heavy cream).
Once the rolls are done cooking let them cool a bit before frosting and eating.
Enjoy!
