Hannah’s Blueberry Bread

This can be a dark but surprisingly light textured blueberry bread the recommendation around the recipe isn't over mix this, and that i agree
under mixing quick breads gives better results and you'll not have access to a rubbery textured loaf. I made the recipe just as mentioned and it was rewarded having a nutty flavoured and moist textured blueberry bread. The blueberry on the top should really permeate the wedding cake on baking, mine stubbornly declined to sink, but It contributes to charm from the cake and it was wonderfully caramelised and slightly sticky. I'd certainly get this to cake again because the technique was easy without any rubbing in or excessive creaming the wedding cake did take ten minutes longer to bake than recommended, but this can be a common position for improvement in recipe writing ovens are notoriously hard to standardise and are not the same
mine should be just a little slower than Leon’s ovens. A really scrumptious nine out of ten with this blueberry bread it had been just slightly within the sweet side for me personally
but that's personal taste, but apart from that, it had been perfect
I loved using spelt flour and dark sugar, which designed for a dark and incredibly moist bread.
