In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm water. Stir until the starter is mostly dissolved.
Add the whole wheat flour and salt to the bowl. Mix with a spatula or your hand until a rough dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to one hour for autolyse.
After resting, add the ground cinnamon and non-fat Greek yogurt to the dough. Knead the dough in the bowl until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Gently flatten the dough and spread the raisins over the surface. Fold the edges of the dough over the raisins and knead gently to distribute the raisins evenly throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it back into the bowl. Cover it with the damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for 4-6 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round or oval loaf.
Transfer the shaped dough into a banetton or bowl lined with a floured kitchen towel for its final proofing. Cover it and let it rise for another 3-4 hours, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) with a Dutch oven placed inside for at least 30 minutes.
Carefully place the dough into the heated Dutch oven. Score the top of the dough with a sharp knife or lame.
Cover with the lid and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the bread has a deep brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing.
