This is another really easy way to take your whole-wheat bread to a new and exciting place. Bake up a couple loaves of this, then treat yourself to some whole-wheat cinnamon raisin toast with butter and almond butter, and gift a loaf to a stranger walking down the street. You’ll feel real good, I promise.

Ingredients

Foodstuff

  • sourdough starter
  • water
  • whole-wheat flour
  • raisins, Thompson
  • sea salt, fine grind
