Reimagine the flavors of cinnamon and sugar into pillowy breadsticks with this sourdough discard recipe. Here, a fluffy dough made with the discard, yeast, flour, and sugar is topped with a cinnamon butter and drizzled with homemade cream cheese icing. Why use yeast and sourdough? The sourdough is not active, and this recipe is made all in one day, which doesn’t give the sourdough enough time to ferment. The finished breadsticks are light and rich with the perfect amount of sweetness.
How to Make Cinnamon Breadsticks Ahead
