1 or 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt

Grease two glass bread pans, coat bottom and sides with some cinnamon and sugar mixture. Pour in batter. Sprinkle top with remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake for 1 hour or until mixture comes out clean.

It is normal for batter to thicken, bubble and ferment. If gases build up in bag, release and reseal.


(To not make all the batter to give away, do not feed on last day. Keep one bag to start again.)
