Ingredients

  • 110 grams all purpose flour
  • 60 grams sourdough starter (active or discard)
  • 55 grams cold/frozen butter
  • 25 grams brown sugar
  • 2.5 grams ground cinnamon
  • 2 grams salt
  • 1.5 grams vanilla extract
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 2.5 grams ground cinnamon
  • 20 grams melted butter (or coconut oil)

Directions

  1. 1

    STEP 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (about 180 degrees C). Mix 50g white sugar and 2.5g ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in 20g melted butter until combined. Set aside for now.

  2. 2

    STEP 2. In a food processor, blend 110g flour, 25g brown sugar, 2.5g ground cinnamon, and 2g salt. Add 55g cold/frozen butter, pulsing until you have pea-sized crumbs.

  3. 3

    STEP 3. Mix in 60g sourdough starter or discard and 1.5g vanilla extract. If the dough isn't coming together, add cold water one tablespoon at a time until it does.

  4. 4

    STEP 4. Roll out the dough between two layers of parchment paper using a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner, the better, because that is what makes the cereal crispy and not cake like.

  5. 5

    STEP 5. Transfer your dough, still in a parchment paper sandwich, to a baking sheet. Score the dough with a pizza cutter, pastry cutter, or a sharp knife, marking squares but not cutting all the way through. This will make it easy to break into pieces after baking.

  6. 6

    STEP 6. Brush the scored dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture you made earlier.

  7. 7

    STEP 7. Bake for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees F (about 180 degrees C), until golden brown and crisp.

  8. 8

    STEP 8. Let the cereal cool, then break it into squares. They should separate easily, ready to be enjoyed right away with some milk or as a snack.
