Description

A delightful bread infused with juicy blueberries, zesty lemon, and rich cream cheese, perfect for breakfast or as a treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm milk, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are harmonious.
  2. Bring in the dry: Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  3. Add flavorful layers: Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Knead the dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 60-120 minutes or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you shape the dough.
  7. Shape the loaf: Gently punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  8. Create slashes and cream cheese filling: Make a few shallow slashes on the top of the loaf and fill these slashes with dollops of softened cream cheese.
  9. Bake to perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top springs back and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool and serve: Allow the loaf to cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using frozen blueberries if fresh ones are out of season. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nuts based on your preference.
