Okay I know I say this about all my loaves.. but for real this time, THIS Leopard Print Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough Loaf is my fave one so far πŸ˜πŸ˜‚. I added sugar to the dough and it was perfect. I think this was my softest loaf so far! I also decided to repaint the leopard design because I wasn’t happy with the grey color it turned in the oven. I love it so much πŸ†βœ¨

Ingredients:

Bread Flour 550g, Warm Water 330g, Starter 120g, Sugar 40g, Salt 10g, Raisins 1 cup, Cinnamon.

Initial mix with everything but salt, let it sit for 45 mins and then add salt. Do 1st stretch and fold (really work the salt into the dough for 5mins). After an hour, take aliquot sample, add all the raisins and do 2nd stretch and fold. Do another 2 more stretch and folds 30mins apart.

When bulk fermentation is complete, pre-shape the dough and bench rest for 20 minutes. Add cinnamon while doing the final shaping and place in the refrigerator overnight.

The next morning preheat your oven to 240c. Score and paint the cold dough and bake at 240c (lid on) 50mins. Drop temp to 230c (lid still on) 6mins or so. Wait a few hours before cutting in and enjoy! πŸ˜‹πŸ€Ž

    Can you explain what the little dough was doing separately from the big dough?

    Good idea! Definitely sparked some ideas for me thanks! Did we miss the part where the swirls were introduced?

    Very beautiful!

    What was the thing you did with the ramekin?

    That’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. I love watching how others do scoring and design. I use black cocoa frequently. My kids get a kick out of it (that it has cocoa on it- bit doesn’t taste like it, occasionally you can smell it when toasting- )

    This is the first I’ve heard of an Aliquot sample and I’m totally hooked. Awesome stuff.
