Description

Delightful cinnamon rolls made using sourdough discard, creating a rich flavor and fluffy texture.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups sourdough discard
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup raisins (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, sugar, milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix well.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
  5. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle raisins over the sugar mixture.
  8. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into equal pieces.
  9. Place the rolls onto a greased baking dish and let rise for another 15 minutes.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

Optional overnight rise in the refrigerator for better flavor. Serve warm with a light drizzle of icing or butter.
