I love sourdough. Earlier this year I decided I would not buy bread from the grocery store anymore and it has allowed me to branch out into my sourdough baking quite a bit! just for fun I wanted to make a cinnamon swirl bread and it turned out so great I’ve been making it pretty regularly!
Ingredients
1/2c sourdough starter
2 c white whole wheat
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c warm water
1Tbsp honey
1tsp salt
Olive oil for your hands
Cinnamon and sugar- or sugar substitute for the cinnamon layer
For cinnamon mixture set aside 1-2Tbsp pyure stevia blend, or sugar if that’s what you prefer and 1-2Tbsp ground cinnamon -mixed
First put the sourdough starter, flour, honey, water, salt all in your mixer and need it into a shaggy dough for 2-3 minutes
Flop the sticky dough onto a cookie sheet that has been prepared with some olive oil spray. Put a bit of olive oil on your hands and spread it over the top of the dough to hold the moisture in. Then cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it sit on the counter for 7-12 hours.
When you come back to the Dell, uncover it and prepare your hands with olive oil. Grab the dough and stretch and fold it three or four times. Then you can spread it out onto the cookie sheet and sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture across the top. Once satisfied with your amount of cinnamon and sugar, roll the dough, as you would with cinnamon rolls, into a log and place it into a bread pan.
The dough will need a couple hours to rise. My kitchen is cold and it takes about 4 hours for sourdough to rise. You’ll want to cover it again so it doesn’t dry out! I use a damp tea towel or more plastic wrap.
Once fully risen, bake at 350 for ten min. Then cover the top with tin foil to prevent it from getting too shark! And bake another 30 min.
Allow to cool before slicing it!!
