Sourdough Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack

Ingredients
  

Cereal Dough
  • 130 g All-purpose flour
  • 56 g Unsalted butter cold
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 40 g Maple syrup
  • 40 g sourdough discard
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
  • 28 g Melted butter
  • 35 g Granulated sugar
  • 4 g Ground cinnamon

Method
 

Step One: Mix the Dough
  1. Combine flour, cold butter, salt and cinnamon in a food processor. Blend until it all looks crumbly. (If you don’t have a food processor, mix your dry ingredients and use a fork to cut in the butter.)
  2. Add the maple syrup and sourdough discard to blender and blend until everything is well combined. It should form a smooth dough. If the dough looks dry, add a few drops (just 5-10g) of cold water.
Step Two: Cold-Proof the Dough
  1. This step is optional, so feel free to skip if you don’t want to wait for your cinnamon toast crunch! If you have the time, though, you can deepen the flavor by wrapping your dough in Saran Wrap and letting it cold proof in the refrigerator for 2-24 hours.
Step Three: Roll Out Your Dough
  1. Transfer the dough to parchment paper and put another piece of parchment paper on top. Roll it out until it’s thin. The thinner the dough, the crispier your cereal will be.
Step Four: Top Your Dough
  1. Take off the top piece of parchment paper and brush half of the melted butter on top. Sprinkle half of your cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top. Put the parchment paper back on and flip the dough over. Brush the other side with butter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
Step Five: Cut Out Your Cereal Shapes
  1. Use a pizza cutter to cut your dough into bite size squares.
Step Six: Bake
  1. Transfer the cereal pieces a baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 12-15 mins or until golden around the edges.
  2. Make sure your sourdough discard is fresh. How it smells is the taste it will add to your cereal.
