Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Rolls

Sourdough cinnamon rolls are a delightful way to use up extra sourdough discard. This recipe not only provides a tasty treat for breakfast or dessert but also incorporates a lovely cinnamon and sugar filling that complements the sourdough flavor beautifully. To start off, the dough consists of basic ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter, which come together to create a rich and doughy texture. As you knead the dough, you’ll notice it becomes less sticky, allowing you to roll it out easily into a rectangle. The filling features brown sugar and cinnamon, which are incredibly aromatic and add sweetness to the rolls. Once you pour melted butter over the rolled-out dough and top it with the cinnamon sugar mixture, rolling it up turns it into the classic cinnamon roll shape. After slicing, place them in a buttered cast iron skillet and bake until golden brown. Once the rolls emerge from the oven with a warm, inviting smell, top them off with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. This final touch makes them even more irresistible. Enjoy your freshly baked sourdough cinnamon rolls with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat! Perfect for sharing with family and friends, these rolls will quickly become a favorite in your baking repertoire.
