Ingredients

Butter or margarine - 2 tbsp
Sea salt - ½ tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Warm Water - 1¼ to 1½ cups
Blueberries - 1 cup, fresh or frozen
Extra ingredients
Butter - 1 tbsp, for baked bread
Flour - 1 tbsp, dusting berries

Instructions

Prep time: 10 minutes, Mixing time: 10 minutes, Rising time: ½ hour , Baking time 30 to 35 minutes.

Method:

Combine in a large bowl: 3 cups flour, sea salt, toss together. ( Leave ½ cup of flour to mix dough together if needed )

In another bowl, add dry fast rising yeast with 1½ cups warm water and 1 tsp sugar.

Let rise for about 5 minutes.

In another small bowl melt two tablespoons of butter. Extra for your hands!

Then in flour mixture make a hole in the middle to pour your yeast mixture and butter, mixing all ingredients together with a wooden spoon or mixer with hook until it thickens, then keep adding ½ cup of flour to work dough together, plus add more warm water if needed ONLY at the mixing stage... ( If you need to add more warm water this should be done during the mixing stage.) This can be done with your hand or mixer with a hook.

Knead dough, add more flour if necessary until dough is smooth, elastic and just a little sticky and you can hear cracking of the dough when folding dough. Now TOSS one tbsp of flour over your blueberries and fold into the sticky dough if your using a mixer. If your doing it by hand try to put them in a few at a time trying not to break them. If so no worries they still will taste amazing in your bread. Keep folding dough into a ball.

When completed. Put dough into a prepared pan of choice, oiling the pan with butter. You can make one long piece of dough or three small balls, place in the pan. Rub some butter over the top of the dough. Let dough rise in a warm place for half hour covered.

Preheat oven to 350ºF, bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until bread is 190ºf on your internal thermometer,. When baked! Take bread out of the pan and place it out on a cooling rack.

Bonita’s Tips:

Putting bread on a cooling rack prevents bread from getting moist on the bottom.

Brush bread with butter then cover with a towel, serve hot or cold.

When at room temp put bread in a plastic bag to keep bread soft and fresh for up to 5 days.

Fresh blueberry will work a little better but you can use frozen keeping them frozen and dusted with flour before adding to the dough.
