Cinnamon loaves are a sourdough makers nightmare but a sweet loaf lovers dream.
Why, you might ask? Cinnamon slows down the fermentation of the loaf dramatically - even halts it completely if mixed into the dough itself. Meaning the wild yeast can’t do its magic, the dough never rises and becomes the airy magical deliciousness we all know and love (ask me how I know 😭)
Now, I could always laminate the cinnamon in loaf by loaf, but that is incredibly time consuming and I find it messes with my shaping technique.
So I am so pleased to announce…. I’ve cracked the code.
I have FINALLY found a supplier for Cinnamon Chips! These little babies melt right into the dough during baking, leaving sweet little cinnamon spots beautifully speckled within.
But the kicker is they only come in 50-pound boxes…
So buckle up Cinnamon Sourdough Lovers. Cinnamon Chip is on the menu to stay 🤩🤣
