Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1⅓ cups lukewarm water
  • ¾ cup active sourdough starter
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix bread flour, lukewarm water, sugar, and sourdough starter to form a rough dough.
  2. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes to allow gluten development.
  3. Sprinkle salt on top; gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest without bursting the berries.
  4. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until combined.
  5. Allow the dough to rise covered for about three hours, performing stretch and folds every hour.
  6. Shape into a ball and place seam-side up in a floured banneton; cover and refrigerate overnight (8-12 hours).
  7. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  8. Transfer cold dough onto parchment paper, score the top, and bake covered for 25 minutes; then uncover and bake for another 25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. For extra crispiness, bake directly on the oven rack for an additional five minutes if desired.
