Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups All-purpose Flour 560 grams
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sourdough discard 227 grams
  • 1 cup water 236 grams
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted 114 grams
  • 1/4 cup honey 84 grams
Cinnamon Sugar Filling
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened 114 grams
  • 1 cup brown sugar 200 grams
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
Icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Equipment

  • 1 15" Cast Iron Skillet or 13x9 Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter for the dough and set aside.
  2. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add in sourdough discard, water, honey, and melted butter.
  4. Mix for a few minutes until a nice dough forms.
  5. Roll out on a lightly floured surface. You want to make sure the dough is about 1/4 inches in thickness.
Mix and Apply the Filling:
  1. Combine softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar to form a paste. Spread evenly over dough using a rubber spatula.
  2. Roll dough into a tight log. The tighter you can roll it, the more layers of the cinnamon sugar filling you will have.
  3. Cut into 14 even pieces and place in a buttered cast iron skillet or 13x9 baking dish.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked. Let cool for a few minutes before applying the icing.
Mix and Apply the Icing:
  1. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix well and pour over the sourdough discard cinnamon rolls. Use a rubber spatula to help evenly spread over each roll. Serve immediately.
