Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, water, and sourdough starter. Let rest for 30 minutes.
Add salt, knead until smooth, cover the bowl, and let it rise for 4-6 hours with stretch-and-fold techniques every 30 minutes.
Mix cream cheese, lemon zest, and granulated sugar until smooth.
During the final stretch-and-fold, gently incorporate blueberries into the dough.
Shape the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface and spread the cream cheese mixture before rolling it into a ball.
Place seam-side up in a banneton and refrigerate for 8-12 hours to develop flavors.
Preheat your oven with a Dutch oven at 250°C (482°F) and bake covered for 20 minutes; then reduce heat to 220°C (428°F) and bake uncovered for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Brush warm loaf with honey and lemon juice mixture before serving.
