First, you need to prepare your dough. For this, you'll need your active sourdough starter, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix these together and let the dough rise until it doubles in size. This might take longer than regular yeast dough, as sourdough ferments more slowly. Patience is key here!

Making cinnamon rolls with a sourdough starter does require a bit more time and patience compared to regular yeast rolls. However, the unique flavor and texture are well worth the wait. Here are some tips to help you achieve perfect sourdough cinnamon rolls:
