Notes
- *Egg - remove from the fridge an hour before using to bring to room temperature.
- Wash and dry the fresh fruit.
- Frozen berries can be used straight from frozen.
- To measure the flour accurately, spoon it into a measuring cup or bowl then use the back of a knife to level it off.
- Don't over mix the batter, mix till just combined or this will result in dense chewy bread. Small lumps and streaks of ingredients are fine.
- For a sweeter loaf, add more sugar according to your taste.
- some ovens have heat spots which means you may need to turn the baking pan during baking.
- leave the loaf in the pan to cool before turning out.
- make ahead as the flavours develop after resting.
- Once cooled, blueberry muffin bread will last up to 4 days wrapped and stored in a sealed box.
- To prevent it from becoming soggy, wrap in a clean tea towel or kitchen paper before placing in the box. Keep the container in a cool area.
- Don't store in the fridge or wrap in plastic wrap or it may dry out.
- Blueberry bread can also be frozen, sliced or unsliced, for up to 3 months in freezer bags lined with kitchen paper.
- Important tip: Do not stack the slices in freezer bags as they will be difficult to separate later and will take longer to defrost. Instead, arrange them in a single layer.
- Thaw in the fridge or on the kitchen counter overnight.
