Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, sourdough discard, milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl coated with oil and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon to prepare the filling. Set aside.
- Once your dough has risen, roll it out onto a floured surface into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough up into a tight log.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled dough into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces. Arrange them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the cut rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and have puffed up beautifully.
- If desired, make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk and vanilla extract, then drizzle it over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
Store any leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to three months. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
