The Sourdough Slice

Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning.

Hey Reader,

A few weeks ago, we hosted a brunch bridal shower for my sister—she’s getting married in September! 💍👰‍♀️

While chatting over avocado toast and coffee, we got to reminiscing about our favorite childhood breakfasts.

Mine? Cinnamon raisin swirl bread from Pepperidge Farm—toasted, buttered, and always with a little extra cinnamon sugar on top. 🍞🍇

These days I make all my own bread with sourdough (naturally), and I realized I didn’t have my own cinnamon raisin swirl bread recipe on the blog… so I had to change that!

This loaf is beautifully soft, naturally leavened, swirled with cinnamon sugar, and studded with juicy raisins.

I think you’re going to love it. 😊

P.S. If you’ve been loving my sourdough recipes, I’d be so grateful if you pinned a few to your recipe board on Pinterest. It helps more people find them - and start their own sourdough adventures too! 💛

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
Bench Scraper - Handy for shaping dough and keeping your work surface clean.
Lodge 6-Quart Dutch Oven - My go-to for baking crusty sourdough—it helps trap steam for that perfect artisan-style loaf.
Loaf Pan - Great for everything from classic sandwich bread to sweet swirled loaves.
Straight-Sided Proofing Container - Great for tracking bulk fermentation.
Lame - For scoring your loaf so it bakes evenly and opens up beautifully in the oven.
Bread Sling - Reusable and makes transferring dough into a hot Dutch oven easier.
