Description

A delightful sourdough bread infused with tangy lemon and sweet blueberries, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 50g active sourdough starter
  • 350g water
  • 500g bread flour
  • 11g salt
  • 150g fresh blueberries (whole)
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 8 Tablespoons butter, at room temperature (113g)
  • 75g fresh blueberries, mashed (1/2 cup)
  • 45g honey (2 Tablespoon)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine your active sourdough starter with the water in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix in the bread flour and salt gradually until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Add the room-temperature butter, honey, and a pinch of salt, kneading until well incorporated.
  5. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has increased in size by at least 50% and appears light and jiggly.
  6. Check for bubbles both in and on top of the dough.
  7. Perform the windowpane test by stretching a small piece of dough; it should not tear.
  8. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased pan, allowing it to proof for another 30-60 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crusty.

Notes

Ensure your sourdough starter is bubbly and active for best results. Swap blueberries for other berries or mix in spices for a creative twist.
