Dough Preparation and Baking
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sourdough starter, and filtered water. Mix until just incorporated, then let it sit covered for about 1 hour to autolyse.
- After the rest, add salt and let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.
- Knead the dough using stretch and fold techniques for 3-4 hours, resting 30 minutes between sessions.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling by blending cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Roll the risen dough into a rectangle, spread the filling, sprinkle raspberries, and fold the dough to enclose the filling.
- Shape the dough into a round ball, place it seam-side up in a banneton, cover, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F with a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes before baking.
- Score the dough and place it in the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 35 minutes.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Ensure your sourdough starter is bubbly and active for the best results. Storing tips: keep in a paper bag for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
