Having fresh bread ready in the morning is a breath of fresh air.  Cinnamon raisin sourdough bread is the perfect way to start your morning.  Learn how to make this irresistible recipe.

Have you ever noticed that waking up the family is so much easier when there's a breakfast ready that they can't wait to eat?   When my son doesn't want to get out of bed, I often whisper in his ear what we're having for breakfast, and suddenly, he's wide awake!

How convenient.  However, I don't want to wake up excessively early every morning to prepare breakfast for my family.  I find I'm much happier when breakfast is mostly prepped before morning.

Something else about my family, is we don't really eat a ton of cereal for breakfast.  Sure, we have cereal, but it's used more as a snack.  We much prefer something a little more filling and wholesome in the morning.

Otherwise, my kids say they are hungry by the time we are loaded up in the car!  This cinnamon raisin sourdough bread recipe is the perfect solution.

Cinnamon Raisin Sourdough Bread Recipe

We like to slather fresh breads like these with butter, and serve them with some yogurt and fruit, too.  I'm a little sad that I don't have any made this morning, but armed with this recipe, I can whip some up for a delicious breakfast later this week. 

We did make some banana bread earlier this week, but when I left it to cool on the counter, my son kept picking pieces off until there was only one serving left.  :-)

STEP ONE

Combine starter and water until starter is loose. Add flour and salt, knead by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook until dough is smooth and shiny.  If you have no idea what a starter is get my recipe for einkorn sourdough starter here.

STEP TWO

Add cinnamon and raisins and mix gently to create a swirl. Continue mixing until you have achieved a texture you are happy with.  Sometimes, you can get clumps, but with more mixing, you'll arrive at your desired consistency. 

STEP THREE

Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with cling wrap. Let cold rise in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.

STEP FOUR

Remove from fridge and place dough (it will be sticky) into a greased bread pan. Cover with a thin towel being careful not to let it touch the dough. Let sit at room temperature for about 2 hours.

STEP FIVE

Score the top of the dough lengthwise and place in a 375° oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until a clean knife test is passed.

STEP SIX

Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with a thick spread of butter.  We love making our own homemade butter for these types of bread from heavy whipping cream.  It's so good!
