Khorasan Cinnamon Burst

Khorasan Cinnamon Burst bread has all of the standout benefits of our Khorasan Honey Loaf but with the added sweetness of cinnamon.  This sweet bread is delicious as a dessert, snack, or our personal favorite - french toast.  

Khorasan White flour is a wonderful alternative to standard all-purpose flour. It has a lighter texture, a naturally golden color, and offers improved nutritional value compared to modern white wheat. As a pure ancient grain, it brings both flavor and substance to your baking. In this recipe, it creates a soft, light-golden loaf with warm cinnamon sweetness in every bite.

Khorasan Cinnamon Burst Recipe

Ingredients

Directions

Sponge (First Rise)

This recipe begins with a sponge to improve gluten structure and flavor.

• Mix together warm water, yeast, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour.
• Stir for 1–2 minutes until it forms a batter.
• Let sit for 30 minutes.

Mix & Knead

• Add remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, butter, and cinnamon chips.
• Knead for:
  • 2–3 minutes with a mixer (low–medium speed), or
  • 3–4 minutes by hand
• Dough should be soft but not sticky. Add a small amount of flour if needed.

Second Rise

• Place dough in a greased bowl and cover.
• Let rise for 30–60 minutes, until nearly doubled.
• Note: White Khorasan rises more slowly than modern wheat—be patient.

Shape & Third Rise

• Form dough into a loaf and place in a pan.
• Let rise until dough is 1/2–1 inch above the pan (30–60 minutes).

Bake

• Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes.
