Sourdough Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Donna M.'s Note:

My favorite sourdough bread. I make this 2 or 3 times a month.

• Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 3 hrs
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 large l ...

• 2 cups proofed sourdough starter
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• ¼ cup instant mashed potatoes
• 3 ½ cups flour (half bread flour and half all purpose flour)

Directions:

1. Put ingredients into bread machine in the order in which they are listed.
2. Run through the dough cycle but remove dough before it rests to rise.
3. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into a rectangle.
4. Spread with softened or melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and a very generous amount of cinnamon.
5. Roll up tightly, as for cinnamon rolls.
6. Moisten edge with water and seal.
7. Place in greased pan (s), cover and let rise until double.
8. Be patient, as rising time is totally dependent on your starter and how active it is.
9. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Brush tops with butter.
11. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
12. Note: You can make this into one large loaf, or several mini loaves.

Just took loaf out of oven. Made a large loaf (baked for 45-50 minutes), baked perfectly. Husband and son both agreed, best cinnamon bread I've made. My son claims it tasted like a cinnabon. I thought the crust was excellent, light and crunchy. The crumb was tender, and the sour was not too overpowering. I think this recipe is a keeper!

Oh my goodness! This bread is amazing! My kids are gobbling it right up as I type. I couldn't find my bread flour and it still turned out great using all purpose flour only. Next time I will use my bread flour though to make it even better!

I made this bread after getting my starter up and doubling in 8 hours or less. It was fantastic. I great combo of sweet with tangy....I will be making this often for my large family. Thx
