How To Make Cinnamon Ripple Sourdough Quick Bread

This sourdough discard cinnamon ripple quick bread is somewhat similar to this sourdough discard apple fritter bread in that the cake batter is layered with cinnamon and then glazed with a simple vanilla glaze. It's super easy to pull together in a hurry and looks like you made a big effort!

Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Grease a 8" x 4" loaf pan and set aside.

Add the cinnamon ripple ingredients together and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar and vanilla extract.

Now add the vegetable oil, milk and sourdough starter and mix until light and foamy.

On top of the wet ingredients, add the all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Gently combine to form the quick bread batter. You don't want to over mix the batter.

Pour half of the quick bread batter into the base of the loaf pan and smooth out a little with a spatula. Sprinkle on around three quarters of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Cover the cinnamon sugar mixture with the remainder of the batter and then sprinkle the remainder of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of that.

Place into the oven at 180C (350F) for around 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool a little. Drizzle in vanilla glaze (optional) and serve!
