Cinnamon Sourdough Bread combines tangy naturally fermented dough with sweet cinnamon sugar swirls for a beautifully balanced artisan loaf. It features a chewy crumb, crisp crust, and warm cinnamon flavor that’s perfect for breakfast or snacking.

Ingredients

  • 100 grams active sourdough starter
  • 350 grams warm water
  • 500 grams bread flour
  • 10 grams salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm water.
  2. Add the bread flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Add the salt and knead until incorporated.
  5. Cover and ferment at room temperature for 4–6 hours, performing stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours.
  6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently stretch it into a rectangle.
  7. Spread the softened butter over the dough.
  8. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over the butter.
  9. Roll the dough tightly into a log and shape into a round or oval loaf.
  10. Place seam-side up in a floured proofing basket or towel-lined bowl.
  11. Cover and refrigerate overnight or proof at room temperature for 2–3 hours.
  12. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  13. Transfer the dough to parchment paper and score the top.
  14. Place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 25 minutes.
  15. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes until deeply golden brown.
  16. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup raisins for a classic cinnamon raisin variation.
  • Brown sugar can be substituted for granulated sugar in the filling.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 4 days in a bread bag or airtight container.
  • Freeze sliced or whole loaves for up to 3 months.
  • Delicious toasted with butter, cream cheese, or honey.
