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

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........

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.

I love how this quick bread is loaded with blueberries! Plus, I’m always looking for tasty discard recipes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a keeper, Karen.
DeleteYay, more discard uses! This is just perfect, totally yummy.
ReplyDeleteI make more recipes with discard than I do the sourdough itself LOL
DeleteI like the addition of blueberries in the loaf as well as the addition of sourdough. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am going to make it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Swathi.
DeleteI make a blueberry bread every summer when the blues are so plump and beautiful. I would love to try yours!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those blueberries! This loaf would disappear quickly for successive breakfasts for my husband.
ReplyDeleteYou know you don't have to feed sourdough every week if it's refrigerated, right? I abandon mine for months at a time and it's just fine, as per Elaine Boddy, the Sourdough Whisperer. Karen can confirm! https://foodbodsourdough.com/
I have gone up to 3 weeks but if I go longer than that I have been starting it all over again. Thanks for letting me know.
DeleteA delicious bread and such a good way to use up the sourdough discard!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, Sneha.
