Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1.5 tsp Yeast, active dry
Instructions
Ensure your breadmaker is clean and ready for use.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to create a makeshift buttermilk.
Add the wet ingredients to the breadmaker pan in the following order: buttermilk mixture, lemon zest, melted butter, and the egg.
Add the dry ingredients on top of the wet mixture: all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients, ensuring it doesn’t touch the wet ingredients. Add the yeast into the well.
Place the pan into the breadmaker and select the 'Sweet' bread setting (or closest alternative), the 1 1/2 lb loaf size, and your desired crust setting (light or medium works best for this recipe). Start the machine.
Once the breadmaker signals during the 'add-in' phase (or about 5-10 minutes into the kneading stage), add the fresh blueberries. Distribute them gently to avoid crushing.
Allow the breadmaker to complete the full cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking.
Once finished, carefully remove the pan from the breadmaker. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is or with a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
