The Best sourdough discard cinnamon rolls recipe
I have been making sourdough bread for years and always hated throwing away the discard. That is how this sourdough discard cinnamon rolls recipe came to be. It is a wonderful way to use up that extra starter and the rolls come out so soft and fluffy with a perfect tangy flavor. My kids absolutely love them for breakfast on weekends and I love that they are a little healthier than regular cinnamon rolls because the fermentation process breaks down some of the gluten. These are also great for holiday mornings or when you want something special without a lot of fuss.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Rolls
1. Can I use active sourdough starter instead of discard?
Yes, you can use active starter. Just reduce the amount of yeast to 1/2 teaspoon since the starter will help with the rise.
2. How do I store leftover cinnamon rolls?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month.
3. Can I make these rolls dairy free?
Yes, use plant based milk and vegan butter. The recipe works well with substitutes.
4. Why are my rolls dense?
This can happen if the dough did not rise enough. Make sure your discard is at room temperature and let the dough rise in a warm spot.
