Fluffy Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls came about completely by accident! One morning I had cinnamon roll dough and pizza dough sitting out and I accidently used the pizza dough for the cinnamon rolls. I was pretty bummed about it, but then I tried them! They were amazing. SOOO fluffy. The other recipe I always share with people is great and I still love it, but if you are someone who likes your rolls on the fluffy side, this is the recipe for you! The best part of these is that they are baked in a cast iron skillet and all the sugar and butter gets crispy on the bottom… at least that’s my favorite part.
