Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 330 grams of room temperature water with 20 grams of fresh lemon juice. Stir in 50 grams of your bubbly sourdough starter until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, rub 1 tablespoon of lemon zest into 50 grams of sugar until fragrant. Add 500 grams of bread flour and 10 grams of salt, whisking until blended.
- Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until no dry flour remains. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform a series of stretch and folds in the bowl for about 4 times. Let it rest for another 30 minutes before incorporating 200 grams of blueberries.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 10-14 hours.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a tight ball. Transfer to a floured banneton, seam side up.
- Place the banneton in the refrigerator for cold proofing for 8 hours or up to 2 days.
- Preheat your Dutch oven to 450°F about 30 minutes before baking.
- Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, score the top, place it in the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 25 minutes. Remove lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
