The Best Cinnamon Sugar Sourdough Bread is a sweet and tangy artisan loaf swirled with a generous layer of cinnamon sugar. Perfect for breakfast toast or a cozy afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g bread flour
  • 10g salt
  • 100g active sourdough starter (100% hydration)
  • 350g water
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (for layering)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix bread flour, salt, sourdough starter, and water until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and rest for 30 minutes (autolyse).
  2. Perform 3-4 sets of stretch and folds over 2-3 hours, resting 30 minutes between each.
  3. Let dough bulk ferment at room temperature until nearly doubled (4-6 hours).
  4. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
  5. Spread softened butter over the dough, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Roll up the dough tightly like a jelly roll, then shape into a round or oval loaf.
  7. Place into a floured proofing basket, cover, and refrigerate overnight (8-12 hours).
  8. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  9. Turn out dough onto parchment paper, score the top, and transfer into the Dutch oven. Sprinkle with granulated sugar if desired.
  10. Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a touch of vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Swirling the filling in layers during shaping prevents large gaps in the crumb.
  • Delicious served toasted with a bit of butter or cream cheese.
