Orange Raisin Bread
Ingredients
All my bread uses only wild yeast. So please read Baking With Sourdough Starter if you are not familiar with starters before you follow any bread recipe on this site
Mix sourdough to orange juice
200 gms active sourdough starter
250 ml orange juice ( 1 cup)
125 ml water (1/2 cup)
600 gms wholemeal flour (4 cups)
150 gms chickpea flour (1 cup)
1/4 – 1/2 cup raisins as you prefer
Method
Mix orange juice and water together. Add active sourdough starter to this. Knead the dough. Incorporate the raisins into the kneading until it is properly distributed into the bread. Leave at least four hours to prove. After proving you are ready to shape it. Leave the shaped dough anywhere from 30 mins to an hour [depending on how warm your kitchen is] for the final rise. Upon the final rise, place it in a very hot oven with a temperature of 230°C for 10 mins. Then reduce the temperature to 200°C and allow to bake for a further 15 – 20 mins. Bakes an 1 kg loaf.

Thanks Randy. I did check it out. Looks delicious. Only with all my recipes for bread as well as cakes I use sourdough starter [wild yeast] as a leavener. I don’t use baking powder or baking soda at all.
