Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup warm water (about 100°F)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the active sourdough starter with warm water and granulated sugar until well combined. Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt to form a shaggy dough.
  2. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the risen dough gently and shape it into a loaf by rolling it tightly from one end.
  5. Place the shaped loaf in a greased baking pan, cover again, and allow it to rise for another hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing.
