step by step

Method

  1. Mix the two doughs

    • Start by making two loaves of sourdough just like you normally would.
    • Right before mixing the first batch of dough, add the butterfly pea flower so it fuses into the dough and turns it blue without any food coloring.
    • To the dough add the lemon extract and the lemon zest for the lemon flavor.
    Step 1
  2. Add the blueberry inclusions

    • Add the fresh blueberries as inclusions at the second round of stretch and fold.
    • Fresh blueberries are used because they hold their shape better once baked, so you get a bite of blueberry in the finished loaf.
    Step 2
  3. Stretch and folds, then proof

    • Do four sets of stretch and fold.
    • Then let the dough proof like normal for about six hours.
    Step 3
  4. Shape the loaves

    • Once the dough is done proofing, shape each dough just like you normally would.
    • Put it on a floured surface and stretch it out into a rectangle-ish shape.
    • Place each dough on top of each other, layering the two loaves together.
    • Add a bit more of the inclusions here if you want.
    • Fold it like an envelope on top of each other until it looks like a little log, then roll it into itself.
    Step 4
  5. Cold proof

    • After shaping the dough together, let it cold proof in the fridge.
    Step 5
  6. Bake

    • Preheat the oven to about 450°F (230°C) with the Dutch oven inside so it heats through.
    • Bake covered for about 27 minutes.
    • Then bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
