Description
A cozy cinnamon sugar sourdough bread with sweet swirls and a caramelized crust. Perfect for breakfast, gifting, or dessert.
Ingredients
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup active sourdough starter
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp melted butter
½ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
Mix flour, water, and sourdough starter until shaggy. Rest 30 minutes.
Add salt and mix. Cover and bulk ferment with 3–4 stretch-and-folds over 4–5 hours.
Laminating phase: stretch dough into rectangle and spread melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture.
Fold the dough gently to enclose the filling. Roll tightly into a loaf shape.
Place into a floured banneton or loaf pan. Let rise 1–2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 450°F with Dutch oven. Score loaf with a curved slash.
Bake covered 20 minutes, then uncovered for 20–25 minutes more.
Cool completely before slicing to reveal the swirl.
Notes
For deeper flavor, cold-proof overnight.
Use rice flour for dusting to prevent sticking.
Chill dough before laminating for cleaner swirl lines.
