Delightful and fluffy sourdough cinnamon rolls perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
Ingredients
- 30 g sugar
- 30 g butter or flavorless oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 30 g sourdough discard
- 160 g all-purpose flour
- 80 g milk
- 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp softened butter (about 25 g)
- 25 g brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup icing sugar
- 1-3 tbsp cream or milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it stand for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sourdough discard, egg yolk, salt, and melted butter. Gradually add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the butter.
- Roll the dough tightly and cut it into 6 equal pieces. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish.
- Allow the rolls to rise again for 30 minutes, covered with the towel.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, whisk together icing sugar, cream, and a pinch of salt to form a glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls once they come out of the oven.
Notes
Allow dough ample rising time for best results. Experiment with fillings like nuts or raisins for a new twist.
