My family is not a big fan of raisin, and hubby loves Cinnabon. So here is my version of my Sourdough Cinnamon Bun.
Ran out of pecan so can only replace with Almond slices.
For this process, it took me 3 days to bake. I think with proper planning, it is possible to have more such bakes. I just need to figure it out. In the meantime, I shall take advantage of this stay home period to brush up my skill.
Learning experience:
Recording the time so that I know how to plan for my next bake using JJ.
I started feeding JJ in the night and it was very much alive the next month. The stiff starter begins. By afternoon, it was looking good enough for me to begin. Dump everything in and mix until smooth.
The next day I was able to bake for tea.
It was so good that my neighbor said she enjoyed it from start to the end. My family even had 2 servings straight (a rare one especially my gal who is eating way too little these days).
Thanks, W for sharing your "baby" with me.
