Discard Cinnamon Rolls

I made discard cinnamon rolls last night...they turned out ✨ amazing ✨ these are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever made. I kindof made it up a little so here is the recipe in case anyone would like to try! *Note this was my first time and it was an experiment so that's why the measurements are kind of funny* I already plan on making these again later this week since they got devoured last night 😅

Instructions

Step 1

1. Warm milk then pour into the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour yeast on top then add in and mix the discard, sugar, egg and yolk, and butter.

Step 2

2. Add flour and salt then knead for 8 minutes or until a ball forms, or knead by hand. (I did about 6 minutes in the mixer then finished kneading by hand).

Step 3

3. Let dough rise in an oiled bowl for 1.5 hours or until doubled.

Step 4

4. Roll out risen dough into a large rectangle about 12x14 inches.

Step 5

5. Spread 3/4 stick room temperature butter over the dough. Sprinkle brown sugar until your heart says stop and spread/pat in. Sprinkle desired amount of cinnamon on top of that.

Step 6

6. Cut about 2 inch pieces, this should make 9 rolls but you can cut smaller or larger for your preference. Place the rolls in a greased glass dish. Mine was probably an 8x12.

Step 7

7. Let rise for about 30-45 minutes. I proofed mine in the oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

8. Preheat the oven to °350 and bake for about 20 minutes. Because I proofed mine in the oven I left them in there while the oven preheated, I baked for 20 minutes (from the time I hit preheat not after it had preheated)

Step 9

9. Let cool and then add frosting. Mine was leftover frosting from a wedding so I don't have the recipe for it but it was amazing on these.
