Chef's notes
I actually LOVE this bread chilled, so I will often stick in the refrigerator and then slice it up and eat it when it’s cold! It gets nice and dense and it cuts into super clean slices. It’s my favorite.
I used frozen blueberries since fresh ones aren’t quite in season yet here. When using frozen, I did not thaw them. I also didn’t stir them more than 1-2 times because it colors the batter as you stir. If the batter turns a little purple, that’s okay. The bread should still be lemony-yellow when it’s done baking. Fresh blueberries should work just as well here, too!
