Sourdough discard cinnamon rolls 🤤
Ingredients:
Dough:
1c & 2tbsp milk (warm)
1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 tbsp butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1/4c white sugar
1 large egg (room temp and lightly beaten)
200g sourdough discard (room temp)
4 1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt (I used pink Himalayan)
Filling:
3 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter (melted to spread on dough)
1c sugar (preferably brown but I used white and they turned out great)
Instructions:
-In a large bowl combine well milk, yeast, egg, butter, sourdough discard, sugar, flour, and salt. If you have a stand mixer mix on medium for 2 minutes with dough hook attachment or until your dough forms a smooth ball, I kneaded mine by hand though for 5 minutes.
-Cover and let sit for 60-90 minutes at room temp or until dough has doubled in size
-Mix together your cinnamon sugar mixture and melt your butter
-Lightly flour your work surface or use parchment paper and roll out your dough into a thin rectangle around a 1/4 inch thick
-Spread butter evenly on the dough then add cinnamon sugar mixture evenly as well
-Grease or butter a 9x13” baking dish
-Cut dough into strips using a pizza cutter and roll into spirals
-Place rolls into baking dish, cover and let rise again for 1.5-2hrs or place in the fridge overnight. Rolls should be slightly puffy when rise is done but may not have doubled in size.
-If baking after 2nd rise, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 16-20min. If baking from the refrigerator preheat oven to 375 and bake for 20-25min.
-When done, remove from oven and top with cream cheese frosting (you can make your own or use store bought I used store bought so I don’t have a recipe for frosting.
Enjoy, happy baking 🥰
Sourdough discard cinnamon rolls are a fantastic way to utilize surplus sourdough starter while indulging in a deliciously sweet treat. These rolls combine the tangy flavor of sourdough with the warmth of cinnamon and buttery goodness, making them irresistible. To enhance your baking experience, you can experiment with various fillings and toppings. Consider adding nuts, raisins, or even chocolate chips to your cinnamon roll filling for an extra burst of flavor. For a special twist, try infusing your cream cheese frosting with vanilla or maple essence for a unique taste. As you prepare your dough, ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature for better integration. This will lead to a smoother dough that rises beautifully. Don't rush the rising process; allowing your dough the necessary time to rise will result in light, fluffy rolls. If you're short on time, you can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight. This method not only saves time but also enhances the flavor profile of your rolls. Incorporating sourdough discards into your baking promotes sustainability and reduces waste, making every bite feel even better. Enjoy these cinnamon rolls warm from the oven or at room temperature, and watch them disappear quickly at gatherings or family breakfasts. With some practice, you'll be able to tweak this cinnamon roll recipe to make it your own, ensuring it becomes a staple in your baking repertoire.
