Preparation Method: Spongy, refreshing and delicious! ⁇ ⁇
- Prepare the oven and the mold
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C (350 ° F) and lightly grease a bread pan of approximately 23 cm (9 inches). You can also line it with parchment paper to make it easier to unmold the bread. - Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add the lemon zest and mix well. - Mix the wet ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla essence, and melted butter until well combined. - Incorporate wet ingredients into dry ones
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix gently with a spatula or hand whisk until everything is well integrated. Do not over-mix to avoid dense bread. - Add blueberries
Very carefully, incorporate blueberries into the dough. If you use frozen blueberries, you don’t need to defrost them, but it’s important to lightly wrap them in a little flour before adding them to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during cooking. - Bake the bread
Pour the dough into the bread pan and distribute it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the bread is browned too fast on top, you can cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking. - Let cool
Once cooked, remove the bread from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a grid to cool completely. - Prepare the frosting (optional)
As the bread cools, you can prepare a simple frosting. Mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice until smooth. If you prefer thicker icing, add a little more icing sugar. - Decorate and serve
Once the bread is completely chilled, sprinkle the frosting on top. Cut into slices and enjoy this delicious fluffy bread full of flavor.
Consejos y Tricks for a Perfect Pan ⁇ ►
