Description

Delightful sourdough cinnamon rolls infused with a unique tang from sourdough discard, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Additional cinnamon and sugar for filling
  • Cream cheese frosting (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sourdough discard, milk, sugar, melted butter, and egg. Mix well until the ingredients blend smoothly.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar generously over the rolled dough.
  6. Roll up the dough tightly and cut it into rolls.
  7. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls turn golden.
  9. Optionally, top with cream cheese frosting after they cool.

Notes

Keep your sourdough discard at room temperature for the best rise. Experiment with fillings like nuts or chocolate for added richness.
