Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • mixing spoon,
  • Silicone spatula
  • Bread loaf pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

For the Sourdough Starter

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 ½ cups warm water about 110°F
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Bread Dough

  • 400 g bread flour
  • 100 g whole wheat flour
  • 300 g water room temperature
  • 10 g salt
  • 200 g fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed
  • 100 g cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness

Instructions
 

Prepare the Starter:

  • In a bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with warm water, mixing well. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Let it sit for about 4-6 hours, or until bubbly and doubled in size.

Mix the Dough:

  • In a separate bowl, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and room-temperature water. Add the salt and mix until a cohesive dough forms. Incorporate the bubbly starter and knead until smooth.

First Rise:

  • Cover the dough and let it rise for about 4 hours at room temperature, or until doubled.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, blueberries, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.

Shape the Bread:

  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle, spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, and roll it tightly into a log.

Second Rise:

  • Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 1-2 hours.

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake:

  • Bake the loaf for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Cool and Enjoy

  • Once done, I carefully take the bread out and let it cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. The aroma is simply irresistible!
