Cinnamon Sugar Sourdough Bread Recipe
Every week I make 2 loaves of sourdough bread and this cinnamon sugar version is my family’s favorite.
With these step-by-step instructions you will be making cinnamon sugar sourdough bread every week!
We start by making our sourdough just like any other loaf. My Sourdough Bread Recipe for beginners is a great way to start. Once you have your dough all ready for shaping, it is time to add the cinnamon and sugar.
- Stretch the dough into a rough rectangle, but not too thin. You want to keep it about an inch thick. Sprinkle a generous amount of powdered cinnamon, followed by sugar, but keep it away from the sides. I use regular table sugar for this recipe. I find that brown sugar doesn’t work as well.
- Fold the dough in on itself into thirds, adding more cinnamon and sugar as you go.
- One final layer of cinnamon and sugar goes on top of the folded dough.
- Now we roll the dough into a ball, pinching the sides as we go.
To form tension in your dough ball. Use your hands to push the dough away from you, then pull it towards you in a candy cane shape motion. Do this several times, until the dough is taught on top.
Now we add the dough ball to our banneton basket (smooth side down), sprinkle with a little flour, and cover with a piece of plastic wrap – just like with any other sourdough. Let it refrigerate overnight to develop that distinct sourdough flavor.
In the morning, preheat your oven to 450F with your dutch oven inside. I like to have a sheet pan on the rack under my dutch oven to keep the bottom of my bread from getting too dark.
Turn your dough out onto a piece of parchment paper or a silicone sling made for baking sourdough. Score with a bread lame so your bread can expand in the oven without tearing.
Bake in the dutch oven, with the lid on, for 35 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for 5 minutes more. Remove the dutch oven from the oven and then remove the bread from the dutch oven to let completely cool before slicing.
*No, sourdough is not low carb.

Jennifer I am new to your website and I love it. Somehow your emails are not going to my main box. I’m excited about you

How can we make this low carb?
I am not sure that is possible.
