Step-by-Step Instructions for Discard Cinnamon Rolls
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your sourdough discard, warm milk, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Allow this mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes bubbly and slightly frothy.
- Add all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and a beaten egg to the bubbly mix, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours, or until it's doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out to a rectangle roughly 12x18 inches. Spread softened butter evenly, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice the dough into 1-inch thick sections.
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring they are touching but not overcrowded. Cover and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F while the rolls are rising. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the cream cheese glaze by blending softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle generously over warm rolls.

Notes
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container. Reheat gently in the microwave for a soft texture, or in the oven for a crispy crust.
