Description
Delicious cinnamon rolls made with sourdough discard, perfect for a sweet morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.333 cup sourdough starter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut the butter and flour for dough together. Add buttermilk, starter, and honey. Mix until the dough is tight. Cover and let rest for 8 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter 2 round baking pans.
- Add baking powder, salt, and baking soda to the dough. Use your hands to incorporate.
- Flour a countertop so the dough doesn’t stick. Flour the top of the dough the same way. Roll the dough into a 20×12-inch rectangle.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Spread 2 tablespoons melted butter over the dough, avoiding the edges. Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the melted butter.
- Roll the dough into a log, starting from the bottom. Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut the log into 1.5-inch segments. Arrange in the prepared baking pans, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
- Mix confectioners’ sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla extract for icing together in a bowl. Top the rolls with icing right when they come out of the oven.
Notes
Use cold butter for a flakier texture. Rest the dough as instructed for deeper flavor.
