Ingredients
100 g active sourdough starter
440 g all-purpose flour
260 g water
6 g fine sea salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
Instructions
Step 1: Whisk the active sourdough starter into the warm water until milky and dissolved.
Step 2: Stir in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms; let rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Perform stretch and folds every 30 minutes for 2 hours to build dough strength.

Step 5: Shape the dough into a loaf and place in a proofing basket for 4-6 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Step 6: Preheat a Dutch oven to 450°F; score the loaf and place inside the preheated pot.

Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is chilled before adding to maintain the integrity of the cubes during baking.
