1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the active sourdough starter and warm water. Gradually add all-purpose flour until a shaggy dough forms.
Fold in lemon juice, zest, salt, and gently mix in blueberries.
Cover the bowl and let it rest at room temperature for 4 hours, performing stretch-and-fold techniques every hour.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place seam-side up in a floured proofing basket. Let it rise for another 2 hours until doubled.
Preheat your oven to 450?F (230?C) with a Dutch oven inside. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Ensure your sourdough starter is active before use for best results.
The dough can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance by refrigerating it overnight.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
