Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Sourdough Bread is a delightful blend of sweet cinnamon and chewy raisins, perfect for any bread lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 100 grams active sourdough starter (½ cup)
- 350 grams warm water (1 ¼ cup)
- 500 grams bread flour (5 cups)
- 145 grams raisins (1 cup)
- 25 grams cane sugar or brown sugar (2 Tablespoons)
- 10 grams salt (1 ½ teaspoons)
- Additional flour for dusting
- 8 grams ground cinnamon (1 Tablespoon)
- 25 grams cane sugar (2 Tablespoons)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add the wet ingredients: active starter and warm water until completely combined.
- Add the sugar until it dissolves.
- Add the bread flour, salt, and raisins, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Place a wet tea towel or plastic wrap on the bowl and let the rough dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Once the 30 minutes is up, begin to stretch and fold the dough, repeating the method for a total of 3 times with 30-minute intervals.
- After the final stretch and fold, place a damp cloth over the bowl and allow the dough to rise overnight at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar mixture for the filling and set aside.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place it onto a clean work surface dusted with flour, gently stretching it into a rectangular shape.
- Place half of the cinnamon sugar mixture across the dough, leaving a 1-inch perimeter around the edges.
- Fold the top half of the dough onto itself, add more cinnamon mixture, then fold the bottom half over the top half.
- Shape your dough into a smooth ball or oval shape and place it into a banneton. Cover with a damp towel and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to bake, place the sourdough into a dutch oven without preheating the oven.
- Score the top of the dough and bake at 425 degrees for 55 minutes.
- Remove the lid and let the bread brown for an additional 5 minutes if needed.
- Wait at least one hour before slicing to allow the bread to cool properly.
- Spread softened homemade butter on the bread slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the dough is well-hydrated for the best texture.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to avoid a mushy crumb.
- Store leftover bread in a sealed bag at room temperature.
