Sourdough Cinnamon Bows
Your classic take on cinnamon buns, but in the shape of darling bows just in time for the holiday season. The dough is irresistibly soft, fluffy and airy. The cinnamon sugar is perfectly sweet, buttering and just so warming. Together it makes the most wonderful addition to the Christmas morning or to celebrate the holidays
Servings 12 cinnamon bows
Ingredients
- 400 grams bread flour good quality
- 200 grams active sourdough starter
- 150 grams organic whole milk or almond milk warm, room temp
- 75 grams grass fed butter softened
- 50 grams organic brown sugar
- 1 egg room temp
- 6 grams sea salt
Cinnamon Filling
- 75 grams grass fed butter softened
- 75 grams brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Egg Wash
- 1 egg whisked with a splash of water
Instructions
- Start by mixing all your dough ingredients together, adding the flour last and mix all other ingredients together before adding it in. Knead it in a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes with the hook attachment or by hand until you get a soft and smooth dough. Allow this to rise for 2-4 hours or until doubled in size
- Make your cinnamon filling in the meantime. Add all your filling ingredients together until you get a smooth paste
- Once your dough has doubled in size, divide it into 12 individual pieces. Roll each one out into a circle and spread the cinnamon filling evenly across. Fold the circle in half and create two slits on the folded side but not all the way to the top. Pull each side into the middle and wrap the middle piece up towards the center. (As shown in the video) repeat this for each dough ball.
- Allow them to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350.
- Brush each bow with the egg wash (1 egg whisked with a splash of water)
- Bake for 12 minutes, until just golden brown. Allow them to cool, then dust with powdered sugar and enjoy
