Soft Craisin Sourdough
This might be my wife's new favorite. 75% Bread flour, 25% Spelt Flour, 69% water, 20% sourdough starter (100% hydration) 2% salt, 2% sugar, 20% craisins. 2-3 stretch and folds over the course of 2 hours. Into 50F fridge overnight. Taken out in morning shaped and proofed in loaf tin. Into 375F oven for 35-40 minutes (Internal temp:200-205F). Brushed with melted butter before and after loading into oven.
Tender crumb with great overall taste. Loved the look of the crust. Perfectly browned and blistered. Had my first slice with some butter and strawberry jam, but was definitely just as tasty on it's own. Can't stop thinking about how good this would be with some brie cheese spread on top. This ones a keeper!

crasin - trademark of ocean spray... (which you may of-course have been using!)
I made some bread like that a few months ago - called it christmasberry bread!

drogon you're right on the money with the ocean spray craisins.
Your bread looks excellent and I'm sure tastes that way too. Did something similar with a mixture of fruits and some toasted pecans as a substitute for fruitcake on Christmas. Did you plump the craisins?

Stu, I soaked the craisins in hot water for about 20 minutes. Next time I'm soaking them in liquor ;-)
