There’s nothing as comforting about the smell of cinnamon wafting through the kitchen—especially when it’s baked into a soft, tender loaf of sourdough sandwich bread. This recipe is the perfect blend of warm spice, sweetness, and tangy sourdough flavor, with a beautiful cinnamon swirl tucked inside every slice.
Whether you’re toasting it for breakfast, turning it into French toast ( recipe coming soon!), or simply enjoying it with a smear of butter, this loaf will bring a little extra magic to your mornings!✨

Ingredients
1 cup warm water (warmed to 100-110 degrees) (240g)
1 packet active dry yeast (7g)
1/2 cup sourdough discard (140g)
2 tablespoons honey (42g)
2 tablespoons soft butter (28g)
3 cups bread flour (or all purpose) (360g)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (3g)
Cinnamon filling:
4 Tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp cinnamon
5 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp bread flour
- Place warm water, yeast, and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer, mix well and allow to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Add sourdough discard and mix well before adding flour, butter, and salt.
- Mix on low with dough hook for about 1 minute and then increase speed to medium low and continue mixing for 7-10 minutes until a smooth dough forms. If the dough looks very sticky during this, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Cover dough and allow to rise until doubled in size.

5. Generously butter a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
6. After the dough doubles, transfer it to a floured surface and press it into an oval/rectangle about the same width as the loaf pan. Spread the cinnamon filling with your fingers, and avoid the filling touching the edges- leave it about 1/4-1/2 inch from the edge. Roll the dough tightly, pinching the seams well and tucking the edges. Place in a prepared baking pan. I like to press down on it gently but firmly to distribute it into the pan. Cover and let rise for about an hour or until the dough has risen an inch above the top of the baking pan.





7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F while the dough rises. Eggwash the top & bake for about 35 minutes, the internal temperature of the bread should read 200 degrees.

Happy Baking!
