1 rating
Few things compare to the comfort of fresh-baked pastry straight from the oven—especially when it's dusted with cinnamon sugar. These Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Sugar Twists are not only delicious, but they’re also a clever way to put your unfed sourdough starter to good use. If you’ve been baking sourdough at home, you already know how often discard gets tossed out. But instead of wasting it, this recipe transforms that extra starter into golden, buttery pastries with a delightful crunch…
Ingredients
Ingredients
• 1 cup (240g) sourdough discard (unfed starter): This provides a subtle tang and moisture without requiring additional rise time.
• 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour: The base of the dough.
• 2 tablespoons sugar: Adds just enough sweetness to balance the sourdough.
• ½ teaspoon salt: Enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.
• ½ teaspoon baking powder: Gives the dough a little lift and softness.
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon: Adds warmth and spice directly into the dough.
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes: The secret to flakiness.
• 2 tablespoons milk (or non-dairy alternative): Helps bring the dough together smoothly.
• ¼ cup sugar: Creates a sweet and crunchy coating.
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon: Gives that classic bakery flavor.
• 2 tablespoons melted butter: Helps the sugar mixture stick and adds richness.
