Blueberry Jam Bread Recipe Guide

Making blueberry jam bread at home is simple and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to create this delightful treat.

Ingredients: For the dough, you’ll need 300g all-purpose flour, 30g sugar, 3g salt, 7g active dry yeast, 1 egg, 120ml warm milk, and 30g softened butter. For the filling, 150g blueberry jam and a sprinkle of flour for dusting are essential.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add the egg and warm milk, knead into a smooth dough. Incorporate softened butter and knead until elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours until doubled.

2. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (about 30x20cm). Spread blueberry jam evenly, leaving a 1cm border. Dust jam lightly with flour to prevent leaking. Roll the dough tightly like a swiss roll.

3. Proof and bake: Place the roll in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter for extra shine.

Tips: For extra flavor, add fresh or frozen blueberries to the dough. Cool completely before slicing to avoid a mushy texture. Enjoy this soft, jam-packed bread with tea or coffee!
