Description
Delightful and gooey cinnamon roll bites made with sourdough discard, perfect for reducing waste while satisfying your sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed, 100% hydration)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/3 cup warm milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup softened butter (for filling)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (for glaze)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, melted butter, and warm milk. Stir until a dough starts to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle that’s about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract evenly across.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the bites on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
- While the bites are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Once the bites are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze on while still warm.
