Dough: Raisin Sourdough

I've made this recipe repeatedly. It's so yummy! The raisins, soaked overnight, in sourdough starter get so moist and yummy!
I tried a new shaping technique this time. I wanted a large round loaf. I only have oval proofing baskets so I jerry-rigged something. I lined a mesh colander with a flour covered tea towel. Then I placed the colander in a bowel - so that the bread would remain round - and not have a flat top. It worked out perfectly! So - rig that S&*^!
