Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat butter, water, milk, and vanilla until it reaches 120°F (49°C) and combine it with the dry ingredients. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- Switch to a dough hook and gradually add the remaining flour. Form into a round shape, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes until doubled.
- Chill the dough by pressing it into a rectangle, wrapping it, and refrigerating for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle.
- Roast the blueberries by mixing them with melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest, then spreading on a baking sheet, roasting for 10-15 minutes.
- Assemble the loaf by spreading the roasted blueberries over the dough, cutting into strips, stacking, and cutting into rectangles.
- Place in a loaf pan, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Bake for 15 minutes, tent with foil, then bake for another 25-30 minutes until done.
- Make the lemon glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest, and milk, then drizzle over the cooled loaf and serve.
