About Cinnamon sourdough bread

Cinnamon sourdough bread combines the tangy, fermented flavor of traditional sourdough with the warm sweetness of cinnamon. Originating from ancient bread-making traditions, sourdough fermentation dates back to 1500 BC in Egypt, while cinnamon has long been a prized spice in various cuisines, particularly Middle Eastern and European. Nutritionally, it is a source of carbohydrates for energy, along with trace minerals such as selenium and manganese. Fermentation increases digestibility and enhances gut health due to the presence of probiotics. Added cinnamon provides antioxidants, while variations using whole wheat flour can improve fiber content.

Health Benefits

• Supports digestive health due to natural probiotics from the sourdough fermentation process.
• Contains manganese, which contributes to bone health and enzymatic functions.
• Rich in antioxidants from cinnamon, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Provides sustained energy through its complex carbohydrate content when made with whole grain flour.
• Fermentation can improve nutrient absorption, particularly B vitamins like folate and thiamine.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten, wheat, potentially dairy (depending on recipe)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, non-dairy (if made without milk products)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free, low-carb, ketogenic

Selection and Storage

Store in a sealed, breathable bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for extended storage. Avoid refrigeration as it can cause the bread to become stale faster.
