Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • wooden spoon
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbs flour for dusting blueberries
  • 1 lemon zested

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, yeast and lemon zest.
  • In a separate bowl mix together frozen blueberries and 1 tbs of flour, then add them to the dough mixture. Pour in warm water and thoroughly mix using your hands or a wooden spoon. Dough should be sticky.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 3-5 hours. You want the mixture to double in size and start to have small bubbles on the top. You can let this sit on the counter for up to 18 hours.
  • Once you are ready to start baking, place a dutch oven in an oven preheated to 450F. Let the dutch oven preheat for 30-40 minutes. While the oven is heating, flour a flat surface and your hands and then remove the dough from the bowl.
  • Fold the dough over itself 4 times. From there, use your hands to form into a tight ball. Place a piece of parchment paper into your bowl and then gently drop in the dough ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Once your dutch oven is screaming hot, carefully remove it from the oven, remove the lid and drop the parchment paper and dough ball into the dutch oven.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the top of the dough to allow steam to release. Place cover back onto the dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes of baking, remove the top of the dutch oven and allow bread to bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
