Lemon Blueberry Sourdough Bread

Print Recipe

A bright and tangy Lemon Blueberry Sourdough Bread that combines the natural tang of sourdough with fresh blueberries and zesty lemon for a deliciously moist loaf.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warmed milk, lemon juice, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  2. Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Gently fold in the lemon zest and fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush the berries.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, 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 into a greased bread pan. Cover and let it rise for another 1-2 hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush the top with a simple lemon glaze after baking or sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking for a sweet crunchy crust.
