🛒 Ingredients
-

1 cup fresh blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)

1–2 tbsp sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)

Extra flour for dusting
Optional:

1 tsp lemon zest (bright flavor boost)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Dough
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, yeast, and sugar.

Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Gently fold in blueberries (be careful not to crush too much).

Let sit at room temperature overnight until doubled and bubbly.
3️⃣ Shape
-
Turn dough onto a well-floured surface.

Gently shape into a round loaf (don’t overwork it).
-
Place on parchment paper and let rest 30–45 minutes.
4️⃣ Preheat
-
Place a Dutch oven (with lid) in oven.
-
Preheat to 450°F (230°C) for at least 30 minutes.
5️⃣ Bake
-
Carefully place dough (with parchment) into hot Dutch oven.

Remove lid and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
6️⃣ Cool

Let cool at least 1 hour before slicing (important for texture!).
🔥 Tips for Success
-
If using frozen blueberries, do NOT thaw (prevents purple streaking).
-
For sweeter bread, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.

Internal temperature should reach about 200–205°F (93–96°C).
