Ingredients

• 100 grams Active sourdough starter
• 200 grams Whole wheat flour
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 350 grams Water
• 10 grams Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Raisins (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with the water. Stir until the starter is mostly dissolved.

Step 2

Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a rough dough forms. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

After resting, sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the dough. Knead the dough in the bowl by stretching and folding it over itself for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the raisins and gently fold them into the dough until they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a round loaf by folding the edges into the center.

Step 7

Place the shaped loaf seam-side down in a floured proofing basket or bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise again for 2 hours, or until slightly puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat up.

Step 9

Carefully remove the Dutch oven, line it with parchment paper, and transfer the dough into it.

Step 10

Score the top of the bread with a sharp knife or razor blade in an 'X' pattern.

Step 11

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
