Description

A delightful blend of tangy sourdough, fresh blueberries, and creamy lemon-infused cream cheese in a beautifully baked loaf.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated 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 the sourdough starter, milk, sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour and salt gradually, stirring until just combined.
  3. Incorporate the blueberries and lemon zest gently into the mixture.
  4. Let the dough rise covered with a towel in a warm spot for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Prepare a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan, pouring half of the dough into the pan.
  7. Add pieces of cream cheese on top of the dough, then cover with the remaining dough.
  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Can be adapted for an air fryer at 325°F (165°C) for a shorter baking time. Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor.
