Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix your sourdough starter, warm water, and sugar. Let this sit for about 15 minutes until it bubbles.
- Form the dough: Add in the flour, salt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
- Incorporate blueberries and cream cheese: Gently fold in the blueberries and softened cream cheese.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
- First rise: Place kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise for 4-6 hours until doubled.
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape the loaf: Punch down the risen dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in the greased loaf pan. Cover for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Pop the loaf in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and slice: Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Consider substituting Greek yogurt for cream cheese, or use seasonal fruits like raspberries.
