🥧 How To Make Ina Garten Lemon Blueberry Bread

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9″x5″ loaf pan with parchment paper, optionally buttering the paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In an electric mixer, blend melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, alternating between them, until just combined.
5. Prepare Blueberries: If using fresh blueberries, rinse and pat them just damp. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat.
6. Add Blueberries to Batter: Fold the flour-coated blueberries gently into the batter.
7. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool and Glaze: Let bread cool in a pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack over a baking sheet. Whisk together all glaze ingredients and drizzle over the loaf. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Ingredients should be warm: Make sure eggs and milk are warm like room temperature. This makes your bread soft and light.
• Only use the yellow part of the lemon skin: When you use lemon skin, only grate the yellow part. The white part makes the bread taste bitter.
• Make sure blueberries don’t sink: Coat your blueberries with flour so they don’t fall to the bottom of your bread. The berries should be a little wet so the flour sticks.
• Mix just enough: Stir your bread mix only until everything is just mixed together. If you stir too much, your bread can get hard.
• Check if the bread is baked: Use a small stick like a toothpick to see if the bread is baked. Stick it in the middle. If it comes out clean, your bread is done. Don’t cook it too long, or it might get dry.
