Sourdough Blueberry Breakfast Loaf #BreadBakers

Start your day off with a smile when you bite into this tangy, sweet blueberry loaf that begins with sourdough discard.


It's time for Bread Bakers......

BreadBakers

#BreadBakers is a group of bread-loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.

We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.  Swathi of Zesty South Indian Cooking is hosting this month and asked us to share breads featuring fruit.  Let's see what everyone baked up........

Sourdough Blueberry Breakfast Loaf

I have a reminder set on my calendar for each Monday to feed my sourdough starter.  If I don't have this reminder, that poor crock gets pushed to the back of the fridge and is terribly neglected.

I hate just throwing away the discard when I feed my starter, so I often use it to make breakfast.  I have made Bagels, Crepes, Scones. Waffles, and numerous sweet breads and muffins, including this delicious blueberry loaf that we are enjoying for breakfast this week.
