Description
This Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Sourdough Bread combines tangy sourdough with sweet cinnamon and chewy raisins, creating a delightful flavor experience.
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
- Begin by taking a large mixing bowl and adding your active sourdough starter along with the warm water. Mix them together until they’re well combined. Next, sprinkle in the cane sugar and stir until it dissolves completely.
- Gradually add the bread flour into the mixture, followed by the salt and raisins. Once everything is basically combined, pause to cover the bowl and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
- Grab one end of the dough and stretch it out gently before folding it over onto itself. Repeat this for the opposite end and each side, repeating for about three times.
- Cover the bowl again and allow the dough to rise overnight at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
- While the dough is fermenting, mix together the ground cinnamon and sugar for the filling.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Stretch it into a rectangular shape and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture across it.
- Fold the top and bottom halves over to the center, sprinkle more cinnamon mixture, and shape it into a ball or oval. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Carefully remove the dough from the fridge and transfer it to parchment paper. Score the top with a sharp knife.
- Place the dough into a preheated Dutch oven and bake at 425°F for 55 minutes.
- After baking, let your bread cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing.
