Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 4 cups Bread Flour Substitute with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
  • 1 cup Active Sourdough Starter Ensure it's active and bubbly before use.
  • 2 teaspoons Salt Crucial for texture, don't omit it.
  • 1.5 cups Water Opt for filtered or room temperature water.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Raspberries Feel free to use freeze-dried if fresh is unavailable.
  • 8 oz Softened Cream Cheese Can be substituted with mascarpone.
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust according to your sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional if you prefer a less sweet flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Dutch oven
  • Banneton
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, water, and active sourdough starter until there are no dry spots. Mix thoroughly until a shaggy dough forms, then let it rest for 1 hour.
  2. After the resting period, incorporate the salt into the dough. With wet hands, pinch and fold the dough until the salt is fully dissolved.
  3. Perform a series of stretch and fold techniques every 30 minutes for 3-6 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  4. Once the dough has risen, carefully turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle.
  5. Prepare the cream cheese mixture and spread over the dough, scatter raspberries, and fold to encase the filling.
  6. Place the shaped dough in a lightly floured banneton, cover, and let it proof in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) about 30 minutes before baking.
  8. Carefully remove the Dutch oven, lift the dough from the banneton using parchment paper, and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
