Dough Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, room temperature water, and your active sourdough starter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Let the mixture rest covered for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle fine sea salt over the dough and gently incorporate it. Knead for about 3–5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 4–6 hours, performing stretch-and-fold techniques every 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese, lemon zest, and sugar until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
Final Steps
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into the dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, flatten into a rectangle, spread the cream cheese filling, fold edges over, and shape into a round boule.
- Place in a floured banneton, cover, and refrigerate overnight for 8–12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 250°C with a Dutch oven inside. Transfer the dough onto parchment, score the top, then bake with the lid on for 20 minutes. Uncover and lower temperature to 220°C, bake for an additional 20–25 minutes.
- Remove from oven, brush with honey and lemon juice glaze.
