In a large mixing bowl add the water, active sourdough starter, and salt and dissolve.
-
Add the flours and mix until just incorporated. Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes for an autolysis step.
-
Knead the dough for a few minutes incorporating short resting periods (5 mins). If you are using fresh blueberries add them when the dough starts getting some consistency.
-
If you're using thawed frozen blueberries, add them now with a lamination step.
-
Perform 3-4 sets of stretch-and-folds every 30-40 minutes. To do a stretch and fold, wet your hands, lift one side of the dough, stretch it up, and fold it over itself. Rotate the bowl and repeat on all four sides.
-
Cover and let the dough ferment at room temperature for 6 hours at 72°F/22°C or until it looks bubbly and airy but not wobbly.
-
Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Preshape it into a boule.
-
Cover with a floured cloth or bowl, and let it rest fo 30 minutes to 1h.
-
Finish shaping the dough into your preferred shape and place it in a floured banneton seam side up.
-
Cover and refrigerate for 12 or overnight.
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven or baking stone inside.
-
Carefully turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp blade. Transfer the dough into the preheated Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 20-30 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden or inner temperature reaches 205°F or 96°C
