SOURDOUGH CINNAMON SWIRL BREAD

Steps:

• Using a stand mixer with a bread hook combine water, sourdough starter, olive oil, honey, and salt.
• Slowly add in flour 1 cup at a time beating until well incorporated and the dough begins to pull away from the bowl and form a ball. Keep mixing for an additional 5 minutes. You can also mix by hand in a large bowl and knead for 7 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let double in size. This can take 5-8 hours or longer depending on the temperature in your kitchen and how bubbly your starter is. Let it go till it doubles even if it takes longer than 8 hours.
• Once doubled, place dough on a floured board and cut dough into 3 equal pieces.
• Using a rolling pin, roll your first piece of dough into a large 15" X 6" rectangle.
• Whisk together your egg and water to create an egg wash, and in a separate bowl mix together your cinnamon and coconut sugar.
• Brush your egg wash on the dough using a pastry brush.
• Sprinkle on cinnamon sugar and orange zest where you applied the egg wash.
• Roll up your dough from the long angle and pinch the open ends together.
• Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough down the center (gently) leaving an inch of dough connected at the top.
• Gently braid your two strands one over top of the other until you get to the end.
• Pinch together ends to form into a mini wreath.
• Repeat with the remaining dough pieces. Put onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a good amount of room in between to allow for rising. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Gently coat with an egg wash and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for ten minutes before serving.

• Combine the water, milk and egg in a liquid measuring cup.

POVITICA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir 1/2 tsp sugar, and yeast into warm water. Set aside until foamy (about 5 minutes)
• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk to just below boiling (about 180°F), stirring occasionally. Allow to cool slightly, until it is about 110°F.
• Once cooled, whisk in the melted butter, 3 TBS sugar and salt to the milk until combined. Add egg, vanilla and yeast mixture and stir to combine.
• Add flour into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook.
• Pour wet ingredients into the flour and mix the dough with the dough hook until it forms a smooth, elastic ball of dough. (You can also mix and knead by hand).
• If necessary, add up to 2 TBS more flour until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball.
• Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a warm, damp tea towel and let the dough rise for 1.5 hours in a warm place, or until doubled in size.
• While the dough is rising, put the milk and butter into the container of a blender or food processor and blend/process until the mixture is warm.
• Add Walnuts, sugar, salt, and cinnamon and pulse a few times until the ingredients are combined and walnuts are crushed into smaller pieces.
• Add egg yolk and vanilla and pulse to combine.
• Allow mixture to stand at room temperature until dough is ready.
• Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper and grease with butter. Set aside.
• After the dough has doubled in size, remove it from the bowl and place on a well-floured surface.
• Roll the dough into a rectangle about 18" x 7" in size. Be sure dough is thin but not so thin that you can see through it (about ¼" thick).
• Spread the filling evenly on the dough, leaving about 1/2" at the edges bare. (If your filling has become too thick to spread, add warm milk ½ TBS at a time until it just reaches spreading consistency).
• Staring at the edge of your rectangle, roll the dough tightly together making a jelly roll (see picture). Be sure to apply pressure and keep rolling tightly until it resembles a rope.
• Gently stretch out the "rope" and lift it into your prepared loaf pan, making an "S" shape as you put it in. (To do this, fold the dough into thirds in your pan (see pictures)).
• Cover the pan with a damp towel and let it sit in a warm place for at least 15 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• After 15 minutes turn down the oven to 300 degrees F and bake for an additional 45 minutes (about 1 hour total), or until done (will sound hollow when hit with a wooden spoon). Check your bread after about 30 minutes and cover with aluminum foil if it is getting too brown.
• Remove bread from the oven. Cool for 20-30 minutes on a wire rack before removing from pan.
• Cool completely before cutting and serving!

• In a small bowl, (like how I'm downsizing each time? ;) haha) combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Mix well.
• In a greased loaf pan (9x3x5), pour 1/4 of the batter, repeat with a second loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over batter; repeat. Cover both pans with remaining batter and swirl a butter knife through to make the marbled appearance.
• Bake for an hour to an hour and 5 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out nearly clean. (A little gooey is okay, but if loaves start getting too dark before they're fully baked, cover with aluminum foil).
• For the glaze, mix together milk and powdered sugar and drizzle over cooled bread.

CINNAMON SWIRL POUND CAKE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F (not fan assisted) and grease an 8 x 4-inch or 4 x 10-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add 1/2 of the dry mixture to the butter mixture, then the sour cream, then the rest of the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
• Remove 1 cup of the batter to a medium bowl. Add the cinnamon swirl ingredients to it - the brown sugar, cinnamon and milk and stir to combine.
• Spoon a thin layer of the plain batter into the bottom of your prepared loaf pan. Using a spoon, drop alternating spoonfuls of the plain and the cinnamon batter into the pan. Top with the remaining plain batter and smooth the top. Using a long skewer or knife, run through the batter in the pan a few times (either lengthwise or from side to side). Just about 3 lengthwise or 4-5 side to side should do it).
• Make topping by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the loaf.
• Bake loaf in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. (4x10 pan will cook more quickly, 55-60 minutes, while an 8x4 will take a bit longer, closer to 65 or a few minutes more).
• Allow loaf to cool in the pan about 10 minutes, then run a knife around the outside and remove to a cooling rack to cool.

CINNAMON SWIRLED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
• In a large bowl, melt the butter and let cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour and baking soda. Fold in the mashed bananas until just combined.
• In a small bowl, use a fork to stir together the cinnamon sugar swirl ingredients until thick and well combined. If your swirl is too thick to swirl, add an additional tablespoon of melted butter until it is thin enough to swirl. Note: if it's too thin, it will just spread and not hold its swirl as the loaf bakes.
• Spread 1/4 of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Dollop 1/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter in the pan and then make a nice thick swirl through the batter with a table knife or bottom of a wooden spoon. Place 1/3 of the remaining batter evenly over the first layer and swirl with 1/3 of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Place 1/2 of the remaining batter evenly over the second layer and swirl with 1/2 of the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Spread the remaining batter evenly over the top and dollop with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Make large swirls throughout the entire loaf. Place six thin banana slices down the middle of the batter.
• Place loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake for 60-70 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
