Blueberry Bread
This is a new recipe for me, but it's quickly become one of my favorites. It's also a fun tongue twister :)
When I mentioned making this at work, my boss was pretty much ready to send me home early so that I could start baking right away. The next morning, I barely got me (and the bread) in the door before everyone started asking if I made it and if they could have some right away.
Blueberry Bread
Ingredients
2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 c. sugar, plus more for dusting
2 eggs
6 oz. vanilla yogurt
1 pint blueberries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, combine butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one.
Add the flour, baking powder and yogurt. Mix until everything is incorporated.
Carefully fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overstir and not to crush any blueberries.
Scoop batter into prepared pan, using the back of a spoon to gently even it out, if necessary. Bake for 30 minutes and remove bread from oven. Sprinkle about 1 Tbsp of sugar on top, then return to oven for approximately 30 more minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
When bread is finished baking, let cool in pan for about 10-15 minutes. Gently run a knife around the outside edge. Carefully invert onto a plate or cutting board and move to wire rack to cool completely.
Yields 10-12 slices, depending on thickness.
