Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sourdough discard, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, salt, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
- Add 2 beaten eggs and gradually mix in 4 cups of all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 16x20 inch rectangle. Spread softened unsalted butter over the dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the butter.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough and pinch the seam to seal. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
