Sunday was cinnamon roll Sunday 🤤
These were the FLUFFIEST cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had with a delicious cream cheese frosting.
And you guessed it. sourdough! No yeast needed

Attaching the “base” of this recipe. As i always end up adding or omitting things!
The only change I made was instead of water I used warm milk, and I think that was the game changer!
Bonus? This recipe can be cold proofed. Make the day before. Bake the next day. Which is the BEST type of sourdough recipe in my opinion.

Beware of sour dough fb groups!
They WILL make you feel stupid
They may say ‘beginner friendly’ but they’re not. They’ll make you feel like you’re doing everything wrong and that sourdough is so complicated you couldn’t possibly be able to do it.
WRONG!

Because that was me too. I put my sourdough hobby aside for months because of the negativity of these groups. Then I stumbled across sourdough content on another platform. Starts with a Tik and ends with a Tok.

I’m going to list my favorite content creators on that app that provide the best and simplest sourdough tips and tricks! 👇🏼👇🏼 because we don’t gate keep here 💁🏻‍♀️

Being off work, plus an abundance of zucchini means zucchini bread!

P.S. if you bake zucchini bread every year and do not have the shredder attachment for your kitchen aid…you’re missing out
