Ingredients
The ingredients here are pantry and refrigerator staples but the results will rival any slice you might get at a bakery or coffee shop. Here’s what you’ll need for the blueberry bread:

- Dry Ingredients – all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt give structure to the bread. Baking powder makes the bread rise to achieve the dome on top (see our tips for the best rise below).
- Butter and Sugar are creamed together to add sweetness and moisture to the bread. Use unsalted butter so you can control the salt.
- Milk and Eggs – give the loaf its moist and tender crumb. Make sure your liquid ingredients are at room temperature for easier blending into the batter.
- Lemon zest – Grate the zest from 1 lemon and reserve 1/2 tsp of zest for the glaze.
- Blueberries – We use fresh blueberries. Rinse and dry them before using.
- Vanilla extract – adds flavor and aroma to the bread
Substitutions and Variations
Frozen Blueberries – use frozen if that is what you have on hand. No need to thaw – toss in flour and fold them in. You may need to bake a few minutes longer if using frozen blueberries.
Cranberries – Yes! One of our favorite combinations is cranberry and orange and this recipe was inspired by our Cranberry Bread.
Other Berries – You can substitute the blueberries for equal amounts of raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries.
