Description

A delightful sourdough bread combining tangy sourdough flavor with sweet cinnamon sugar, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 220 grams water
  • 175 grams bread flour
  • 175 grams all-purpose flour (plus 12 grams for shaping)
  • 110 grams active sourdough starter
  • 20 grams sugar
  • 10 grams neutral oil
  • 7 grams salt
  • 12 grams ground cinnamon
  • 65 grams light brown sugar
  • Splash of heavy cream or milk (optional for brushing)


Instructions

  1. Combine all dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until no dry patches remain. Cover with a damp towel and rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Perform 2-3 sets of stretch and folds on the dough.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the dough bulk ferment at room temperature until it nearly doubles in size (around 6 hours).
  4. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon sugar filling by mixing ground cinnamon and light brown sugar.
  6. Shape the dough into a rectangle, brush lightly with cream or milk, and sprinkle 2/3 of the filling on top.
  7. Fold the dough as instructed, then roll it up and place seam-side down in a parchment-lined loaf pan for its second rise (2-4 hours).
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a pan of water on the bottom for steam.
  9. Score the dough, brush the top, cover with foil, and bake for about 50 minutes (removing foil for the last 10 minutes).
  10. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements and allow the dough to rise in a warm environment. This recipe pairs beautifully with coffee or tea.
