Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Melt butter and set aside to cool.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, then go ahead and prepare your cast iron skillet or baking dish by lightly brushing it with butter or oil.

  3. To a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Combine.

  4. Now add the wet ingredients: sourdough discard, water, melted (and cooled) butter, and honey.

  5. Mix together until a ball forms. This may take about three to five minutes.

  6. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then roll with a rolling pin, working it into a rectangle shape that is about ¼ inch thick.

  7. In a separate small bowl, add the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, stirring until the ingredients come together.

  8. Spread the filling evenly over the top of the dough with a spatula.

  9. Starting at the long side of the rectangle, begin rolling the dough up tightly. When fully rolled up, press the edge closed to keep the filling in.

  10. Slice evenly into rolls. You can use a sharp knife, unflavored dental floss, or even thread. The floss or thread are helpful because they can cut through the dough in a sawing motion without smashing the dough down like a knife tends to do. Try to keep the sizes as consistent as possible. You should end up with around 12 rolls.

  11. Place the rolls into your prepared skillet or dish, spaced just a touch apart for even baking.

  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until the rolls are a light golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

  13. Let the rolls cool for a bit before frosting, as the frosting will just slide off the hot rolls.

  14. Add cream cheese, heavy cream, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract to a medium saucepan.

  15. Stir until combined over medium heat.

  16. You can use an immersion blender to get an extra smooth consistency.

  17. Pour over the warm cinnamon rolls, then serve.
