No reviews

These cinnamon rolls are a quick and easy dessert made from sourdough discard, offering an unexpected depth of flavor. The combination of buttery texture with the sweet spiciness of cinnamon makes them irresistible.

  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 8-10 rolls 1x

Ingredients

✓ 1 cup sourdough discard at room temperature
✓ 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed and cold
✓ 2/3 cups whole milk
✓ 4 tsp granulated sugar
✓ 6 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

✓ In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, cold butter cubes, milk, and 4 teaspoons of sugar until well mixed.

✓ Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and mix thoroughly to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

✓ Cover the mixture with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let sit at room temperature for about an hour. This helps activate any residual yeast activity from the discard, making the dough rise slightly without needing long fermentation time.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold to avoid overworking during mixing; mix until combined but don’t worry if it’s slightly lumpy as this adds charm. The dough can be made ahead and frozen after baking for later enjoyment.
