Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to create the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add water, sourdough discard, remaining melted butter, and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms and knead for about five minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over it.
Roll the dough tightly from one long side to form a log; seal the ends.
Slice into twelve equal pieces and place in a greased baking dish or cast iron skillet.
Bake for 25–35 minutes until golden brown on top.
Cool slightly before serving; drizzle with cream cheese frosting if desired.
