Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 recipe of Sourdough Challah (prepared night before or morning of)

Filling

  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar

  • ¼ cup butter, softened

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened (for greasing pan)

  • Cinnamon, to taste

Directions

  1. Prepare dough
    After the challah dough has fermented 6–12 hours, divide in half. Use one half to shape into challah bread.

  2. Grease pan
    Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons softened butter.

  3. Roll dough
    Roll out the other half of the dough into an 18" x 12" rectangle.

  4. Add filling
    Spread ¼ cup softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with coconut sugar and spread to coat. Dust generously with cinnamon.

  5. Form rolls
    Roll tightly from the long side. Pinch seam to seal. Slice the log in half, then each half into 6 equal pieces (12 total). Use dental floss or a sharp knife.

  6. Second rise
    Place rolls in the greased pan. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise 2–2½ hours, until puffy.

  7. Bake
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.

⚠️ Baking times and results may vary depending on oven strength, kitchen temperature, and elevation. Adjust flour, water, and baking time as needed. Always cool fully before slicing to ensure proper crumb development.
