Step-by-Step Instructions
- Feed your sourdough starter 8-12 hours before starting.
- Combine lukewarm water, fed sourdough starter, sugar, vanilla extract, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a mixing bowl until shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes (autolyse).
- Perform stretch-and-folds every hour for a total of three sets.
- Gently incorporate dried blueberries into the dough, folding them in carefully.
- Transfer the dough back to a bowl, cover it, and let it rise until it increases by about 50%.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it seam-side up in a floured banneton. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 48 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F and place a Dutch oven inside.
- Remove the hot Dutch oven, place the dough inside, score the top, cover, and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes
Pat blueberries dry before adding to avoid excess moisture. Monitor room temperature during fermentation for best results.
