Dough Preparation
- 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.
- After the resting period, incorporate the salt into the dough. With wet hands, pinch and fold the dough until the salt is fully dissolved.
- Perform a series of stretch and fold techniques every 30 minutes for 3-6 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, carefully turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture and spread over the dough, scatter raspberries, and fold to encase the filling.
- Place the shaped dough in a lightly floured banneton, cover, and let it proof in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) about 30 minutes before baking.
- 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.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes
Ensure your sourdough starter is active for best results. Avoid using frozen raspberries as they can make the bread soggy.
