Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1â…“ 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 mixing bowl, combine bread flour, lukewarm water, white sugar, and sourdough starter until a rough dough forms. Use your hands to incorporate any dry bits.
  2. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle salt over the dough and gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest.
  4. Knead the dough for 1–2 minutes until salt and fruit are evenly distributed.
  5. Cover again and let rise in a warm place for about 3 hours, reshaping every hour.
  6. Dust a banneton with rice flour, shape the dough into a ball, and place seam-side up in the banneton. Cover and proof overnight in the refrigerator (8–12 hours).
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  8. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, score the top, and bake covered for 25 minutes; then uncover and bake for another 25 minutes.
  9. For an extra crispy crust, bake directly on the oven rack for an additional 5 minutes.
