In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and water. Stir until the starter is dissolved.
Add the all-purpose flour, sugar, and ground cinnamon to the starter mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly and add the raisins and small pieces of unsalted butter. Fold the dough over the raisins and butter, and gently knead until well incorporated.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and gently shape it into a loaf. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped dough on it.
Cover the loaf with a floured cloth and let it proof for another 2 hours at room temperature, or until it has increased in size by about 50%.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet inside while preheating.
Score the top of the loaf with a sharp blade, making a few slashes to allow the bread to expand while baking.
Transfer the loaf to the preheated baking stone or sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 200°C (390°F) and bake for another 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
