- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water (about 100°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm water until blended.
- Add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
- Deflate the dough gently on a floured surface, shape it into a rectangle, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, and roll tightly.
- Place the shaped loaf in a greased pan, cover it again, and let rise until puffy (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
