I finally started making something other than just plain sourdough bread and this was one of my first recipes. It turned out so well, we all ate it up quickly.

In reply to Melanie. You absolutely can add cinnamon. Just incorporate it into the flour when at the beginning. 1 to 2 teaspoons is what I would suggest.

In reply to susan | thewimpyvegetarian. Hi- could you add cinnamon to this recipe, if so where in the process would you add?

In reply to Andrea. Yes, Andrea. This is a 350gr loaf that will fit nicely in an 8.5 by 4.5 loaf pan. The glory of the dutch oven is that it acts like a steam oven which will give you that nice crust. You can put a pan of water on the bottom rack to compensate but it's not crucial. Also, you will want to bake it too an internal temp of 205 to 210. The first time you check it will help you determine how much time it's going to take.

Can this be made in a loaf pan instead of a Dutch oven? If so, are there any changes to the instructions?

Can you please send out the amounts in measurements like cups and teaspoons for those of us who do not have a scale to measure in grams? Even if it is approximate it would help. I would love to try this recipe!
