Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sourdough starter, warm water, salt, and sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
- Incorporate the key flavors: Gently fold in the blueberries, cream cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice until evenly distributed.
- Let the dough rise: Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm area for 2-4 hours, until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape your loaf: Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Bake to golden perfection: Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool & slice: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the dough a day in advance and let it rise in the fridge overnight for deeper flavors.
