This tangy and sweet Lemon Blueberry Sourdough Bread combines the rich flavor of sourdough with bursts of fresh blueberries and a bright lemon zest, perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and olive oil.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until a rough dough forms.
  3. Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on parchment-lined baking sheet or proofing basket.
  7. Let it proof for another 2-3 hours until puffy.
  8. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra lemony flavor, brush the crust with a light lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice after baking.
