Time 11h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup mature sourdough starter
1 egg
2 tablespoons margarine, softened
2 teaspoons margarine, softened
1 ⅔ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
⅓ cup raisins
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Place sourdough starter, egg, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons margarine, flour, raisins, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar, and salt in a bread machine in that order. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
  • Place dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel. Place in a draft-free place to rise until doubled, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Turn dough out on a floured surface. Roll into a 9-inch wide rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Brush milk over dough; sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top. Roll dough up tightly into a log and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Let rise until at least 1 inch above the rim of the pan, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake loaf in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

SOURDOUGH CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

Provided by Matthieu Tourenne

Number Of Ingredients 8

300g Bread Flour
200g Red Fife Whole Wheat Flour
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
175g Raisins
150g Maple Syrup
400g Water
12g Salt
100g Sourdough Starter

Steps:

  • Add Sourdough Starter, water, salt, and maple syrup to a bowl, and mix with a dough whisk.
  • Once mixed, add the flours, cinnamon, and raisins, and mix until combined.
  • Cover mixing bowl and let sit for approximately 8 hours at room temp (~72F) or until volume of dough doubles [optionally stretch and fold periodically].
  • Turn out fermented dough on a lightly floured work surface and shape into your preferred loaf (boule, batard...) and then place dough into a well floured (rice flour is preferred) proofing basket; cover and let sit at room temperature (~72F) for about 1 hour.
  • After 30 minutes or so, place your preferred baking vessel (I used a Breadtopia Clay Baker) in the oven and preheat to 500F (or your vessel's maximum safe temperature).
  • With dough fully risen and oven pre-heated, gently transfer the dough from the proofing basket to the baking vessel, score the top of the loaf, and then bake at 500F with top on for 20 minutes.
  • Turn oven temperature down to 450F and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the top of the baking vessel and bake for ~20 minutes or until color of crust is as desired and internal loaf temperature is at least 200F.
  • Take the loaf out of the oven and place it on a cooling rack and let it cool at least 1 hour before cutting.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor and texture, use high-quality ingredients, including unbleached all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, warm water, sugar, salt, butter, eggs, cinnamon, raisins, and sourdough starter.
  • Activate the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a light and fluffy bread.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment the dough and produce carbon dioxide, which will create air pockets in the bread.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and braid them together. Place the braid in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
