Blueberry Lemon Sourdough Bread

  • 120 grams levain ripe, bubbly and active about ½ cup, see recipe notes
  • 330 grams water 1 cup plus 6 Tablespoons
  • 55 grams granulated sugar about ¼ cup
  • 12 grams lemon zest about 2 Tablespoons from 2 medium-sized lemons
  • 10 grams salt about 1.5 teaspoons
  • 500 grams bread flour about 3.5 cups
  • 150 grams fresh blueberries about 1 cup

Instructions
 

Levain Preparation

  • Mix together ripe/active sourdough starter with all-purpose or bread flour and water. Cover loosely and let sit 3-4 hours at 78-80°F until doubled, bubbly & peaked.

Dough Preparation

  • To a large bowl, mix together ripe levain with water, granulated sugar and lemon zest. Whisk together. Then add salt and bread flour. Mix together until a wet and sticky dough forms.
  • Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Perform a series of 'stretch and folds' over the next 1 ½ hours while incorporating blueberries.
  • Cover and let rise for 2-2.5 more hours at 78ºF.
  • Pre-shape and bench rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Shape the dough and prepare for cold fermentation, refrigerating overnight or up to 14-20 hours.
  • Preheat the Dutch oven to 450°F for 20 minutes.
  • Score the dough and bake in the Dutch oven at 425°F for 25 minutes, then at 400°F until fully baked.
  • Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Equal weights of ripe, bubbly, active sourdough starter can be substituted for levain. Use fresh blueberries for best results.
