Method
Preparation
- Day 1: 12 hours before baking, mix the sourdough starter, warm water, and honey in a bowl.
- Add the flour, mix well, cover, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Next, add the salt and mix it through. With wet hands, pull and fold the dough from all sides.
- Cover it with oiled plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 12 hours (overnight).
Making the Blueberry Filling
- In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, water, lemon zest, and lemon juice; simmer them together.
- Make a slurry using cold water and ClearJel, then add it to the blueberry mixture and cook until it thickens.
- Allow it to cool, then refrigerate.
Baking
- Day 2: Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Oil a sheet pan and stretch the dough onto it.
- Spread the cooled blueberry filling over the dough and fold the edges over to enclose the filling.
- Cover and let it rise for 2 hours until it becomes puffy.
- For the crumble topping: Mix together flour, butter, and sugar until combined.
- For the lemon glaze: Stir the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Dimple the dough with oiled fingers, drizzle it with olive oil and melted butter, add dollops of the blueberry filling, and sprinkle with the crumble topping.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until it turns golden brown.
- Allow it to cool on a wire rack before cutting, and finish with a drizzle of the lemon glaze.
Notes
