We will be describing Little Spoon Farm’s delicious sourdough cinnamon roll recipe. The sourdough imparts a slightly tangy, fruity quality that complements the cinnamon flavor of the rolls. However, it does take slightly more work and time than a standard cinnamon roll recipe that uses dry yeast. Additionally, you’ll need to have some sourdough starter already going; alternatively, you can pester a friend for some of theirs, or make your own.
