Hi BG,
Susan of WildYeast wrote about why it's not always such a good idea to convert a yeast recipe to sourdough. As she says, you aren't going to wind up with what was intended. It's a good read.
Why not use a tried and tested sourdough cinnamon roll recipe? Mountain Dog published a pretty good one here.
but I think the relative who developed it was a "scooper" when it came to measuring flour. I use the fluff, spoon and level method and I had to put in a lot more flour (in cups) than the recipe called for. So, my guess is that the person who developed the recipe packed a lot more flour in a cup than I do.
That doesn't make a difference in your quest to convert it to sourdough but you might want to be aware that quantities may be different than you expect.
