Tips for Sourdough Skillet Cinnamon Roll Centers:

  1. Active Sourdough Discard: Ensure your sourdough discard is active and bubbly before using it in the recipe. This will help with the rise and flavor development of your cinnamon roll centers.

  2. Homemade Self-Rising Flour: Create your own self-rising flour mixture by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This homemade mixture will provide the necessary leavening for your cinnamon roll centers.

  3. Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature ingredients, including the sourdough discard, Greek yogurt, and any other wet ingredients. This ensures proper mixing and activation of the leavening agents.

  4. Arranging in the Skillet: Place the rolled cinnamon roll centers in a greased cast iron skillet, leaving a little space between each piece for rising. Make sure the skillet is well greased to prevent sticking.

  5. Baking: Preheat your oven to the specified temperature and bake the cinnamon roll centers until golden brown and cooked through. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the rolls.

  6. Glazing: Once baked, let the cinnamon roll centers cool slightly before drizzling with a delicious glaze made from powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk.

  7. Serve Warm: Enjoy your sourdough skillet cinnamon roll centers warm from the oven for the ultimate indulgence. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack any time of day!
