Blueberry Orange Loaf Food

ORANGE BLUEBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Alternately, line the loaf pan with parchment paper and then spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• In a small bowl, combine the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and the orange zest. Toss lightly to combine.
• In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 3 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the mix.
• In another bowl, or in a large liquid measuring cup, combine the egg, milk, orange juice and oil.
• Pour the liquid into the well in the center of the dry mixture. Stir just until moistened. (Do not worry about making the batter smooth - there should be some lumps left.) Fold in the blueberry mixture.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. If the bread starts to get too brown, cover with a piece of foil during the last 10-15 minutes.
• Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
• Bread can be eaten once cooled, or for best results, wrap in plastic wrap and store overnight before serving.

ORANGE-BLUEBERRY LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour one 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" loaf pan. In a small bowl, toss together the blueberries and 2 tablespoons of flour. In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1-3/4 cups of flour. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter and sugar for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat well. Beat in the orange juice and orange peel. Add the flour mixture and, with the mixer on low speed, beat until well-blended. Stir in the blueberries. Spread in the prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.

BLUEBERRY-ORANGE BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening or baking spray with flour. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).
• In large bowl, stir together cereal, water, orange peel and orange juice; let stand 10 minutes.
• Stir in remaining ingredients except blueberries. Gently stir in blueberries. Spread batter in pan.
• Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing.

BLUEBERRY ORANGE TEA LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 170C.
• Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin and set aside. In a saucepan melt the butter on a low heat until almost melted. I did mine until there were a few lumps remaining and it was still a creamy yellow colour rather than being the deep liquid it is when fully melted. Cool fully.
• When cooled, whisk in the sugar, egg, orange zest and vanilla. Fold in the flour along with a few splashes of milk if you think you may have trouble folding in the blueberries. This is meant to be a very firm loaf to prevent the blueberries from sinking.
• Fold in the blueberries, then spoon into the tin. The mixture will be very thick so I used the back of a spoon to level the top. Prepare a foil 'hat' to be put onto the tin later, and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean. If the mixture becomes too brown put the foil hat over the cake to protect it.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir all bread ingredients except blueberries until blended. Fold in blueberries. Pour into pan.
• Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; loosen loaf from sides of pan. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over bread; sprinkle with additional orange peel.
