  • 10 grams salt (about 1 3/4 teaspoons)
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sliced raspberries (preferably freeze-dried)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, water, and flour until mixed. Let it rest for one hour.
  2. Add salt to the mixture and let sit for another 30 minutes.
  3. Perform stretch and fold techniques every 30 minutes until the dough doubles in size.
  4. Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth.
  5. Gently wash the raspberries and dry them lightly.
  6. Shape the dough into a rectangle, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly, then distribute the raspberries on top.
  7. Fold the dough like an envelope, shape it into a ball, and place it in a floured proofing basket.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  9. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Let the dough sit at room temperature for about an hour before baking.
  10. Score the top of the dough and bake covered in a Dutch oven for 20 minutes; then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
