blueberry-cashew bread


With the weather turning drastically cold the past couple of days, I think the "cold" season has officially started here. My student emailed me to say that she wasn't feeling well and wanted to cancel our lesson today. Since I now had some time on my hands, I decided to bake some bread.

I had seen this blueberry-cashew bread in the neighborhood bakery before and decided to re-create it.

I used the butter roll recipe that comes with the yeast packets and added cashews and blueberries to the dough before baking. I didn't know how much of the cashews or blueberries to put into the bread, and put just a little. Now I know, I could have put WAY more...

Still, the rolls rose very nicely and you get cashew and blueberry in every bite.

  1. What an interesting combination! Wow, I'm really impressed you make so many different bread type things! They always seem so difficult. I only make flatbreads that don't need to rise etc., lol, so good on you!

  2. Hi TM,

    I guess I'm hooked on using yeast...ha ha...I buy the Camelia brand and the instructions seem really easy, that's why I use it, just toss it in with the other ingredients and make sure the water is warm and it rises pretty nicely! I should try making flatbread too.

    Take care.

  3. Kat,
    Blueberry & cashew - never would have thought but when you say it it sounds like a natural. And do try flat breads, they are lovely. I have one on my old site that's been our favorite for years.
    Thanks for stopping by.
