Cozy Winter Baking | Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Sourdough cinnamon rolls are sweet, buttery, and the perfect icing-topped breakfast treat. The fermentation process gives the cinnamon buns a greater depth of flavor for the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and oh, so soft. You have to try this delicious recipe.

I'm so thankful for your channel! My husband is diabetic and one bread he's allowed is sourdough. It's gotten so expensive that I decided to start making it. I decided to surprise him with cinnamon rolls (using all approved sweeteners) because he's so good to me. I'm disabled and he really does a lot for us and still buys me flowers. Thank you! Truly a blessing!

Since I don't have an electric mixer I tried kneeding in the eggs by hand and it was crazy difficult. Like oil and water, the ingredients did not want to come together! BUT i remembered that I have an old breadmaker stored away, so I pulled it out and tossed in the sad looking ball off goop, then turned on the dough setting. Voila! Mixed like a dream!

I have made these as sweet rolls so many times, but wanted to make something savory for our potluck after church. I doubled the recipe, cut the honey to a 1/4 of the original measurement, and filled with a garlic and parsley butter, cheddar, cooked crumbled bacon and breakfast sausage. I still drizzled on some heavy cream. I had to extend the baking time. They were a huge hit!
Thanks for the inspiration!

I want to offer a helpful tip for those who are hand mixing. This is most definitely a “labor of love” 😄🙏🏽 what helped me to incorporate everything was splitting the dough in two then kneading like you would bread dough- the egg made the dough super sticky, I had to add a few sprinkles of all purpose flour- Then combine the two pieces back together. It was hard, but don’t give up and throw your dough away, these are delicious and worth the elbow grease 💕

I live in The Bahamas and love watching your channel and your family. We too are self employed, homestead, homeschool and have four children. It took me 12 days in our humid, hot climate of 85-87 degrees and no central a/c to finally get my starter activated. Phew!. Made these cinnamon rolls this morning and have never had any that tasted so good. Well they are all gone and i am going to start another batch tonight. so thank. you!

I only just yesterday found this channel whilst researching how to get started with sourdough and have learned so much from you already. Your children are so fortunate to have such a wonderful mothering influence in their lives. I find myself wishing I had such a mother even at 28 with my own 4 children!

I am so.amazed Lisa how effortlessly you are able to all your cooking/baking creations with your Theo and all your babies in your wrap. You make it looks so easy. The connections you have instilled with your infants certainly a lifelong connection. They just are so chill

My household loves cinnamon rolls, more icing the better. Your little baby is just so cute. I swear I tried to pay attention to the way you made your cinnamon rolls. Lol😀

I’m baking them right now. Can’t wait. I’m so excited. I’m 62 and never made much from scratch. You are such a light in my life. Thank you so much. ❤️

[patty]

Hands down my favorite cinnamon roll recipe! I’ve had great success both times I’ve made it. ❤️❤️

[tvicory]

Oh my goodness.... We made these this morning and they are TO DIE FOR!!!! Even my ornery teenage son who jokingly withholds compliments couldn't even pretend that they were anything short of AMAZING! lol Seriously, this recipe is a MUST TRY!!!

[robscott]

Made this recipe today. Turned out SO delicious! I’m a novice baker and besides bread and crackers, this is my first “different” recipe to try. Easy to follow recipe and the results were awesome! Very exciting, so thanks for all you share with the rest of us. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️

Hello, and thank you for this recipe! I am very new to sourdough and cinnamon buns! This is my second time making these and they turned out fantastic!
I just want to let people know what worked for me, as I always look in the comment section when i have questions.

1. I had to double the water quantity to 1 cup. This may be due to the fact that i live in a dry province in Canada, it’s still sort of winter, and our all purpose flour is different than the states ( so i have read somewhere). I used unbleached all purpose white flour

2. Yes, adding in the eggs the next day is difficult, but i just used one egg and squeezed it in with my hand for a bit, and then mixed it in my mixer. They turned out great with one egg. I am wondering if it might mix better if egg is room temperature, mine was not. I also forgot to add in the oil and had to add it the first day mix after everything was mixed, and it was just as difficult as mixing in one egg 😂

3. I decided to cook mine in 2 small cast iron pans. I cooked 6 rolls in each. One was 8”, and the other was 10”. The rolls in the 8” fit nicely, with very little room to spare, like Lisa’s, and were squished when done. The rolls in the 10” pan had so much room, i thought it would be a flop, but they worked out perfect! They filled out the pan and expanded to a nice size. I highly recommend using a pan that has room for your rolls to grow 😊

I love this recipe! Thank you Lisa 💕

So you updated this recipe on your blog to enccorperate the eggs in the long ferment for overnight, and it was fine. I hope you do an updated video on this!🙏 aslo, seeing the different stages of the dough would help also🙏♥️

[elizabethdoucet]

So good to see you! I look forward for each and every time🌹

My mouth is watering. Remembering eating the warm cinnamon rolls my grandma use to make. Loved your video. Sending love and hugs from Florida.

Thanks for this amazing recipe!! I don’t have a mixer, I did it by hand and those 45min of mixing by hand were SO worth it!! 🤍🤍🤍
