Description

A delightful bread combining tangy blueberries and creamy cheese, wrapped in the warm embrace of freshly made sourdough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Combine 2 cups of sourdough starter, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of softened butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring until just combined.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm area for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Grease your loaf pan and pour half the dough into the pan. Scatter pieces of cream cheese over the mixture, then cover with the remaining dough.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Store wrapped at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Can be served with creamy butter, yogurt, or honey.
