So the other night we went to...(gasp!) Denny's and I had their Create-your-own-French-Toast. They mistakingly gave me the blueberry bread which got me to wondering how a blueberry yeast bread would be to make! Of course, I'm sure the blueberries in that were the artificially flavored apple bits and so I decided that I would try it with the frozen Wild Blueberries from Trader Joe's. And I wanted to put the blueberries in a Whole Wheat Walnut bread. So, I found this
recipe at mysanfranciscokitchen.com. Of course, I couldn't leave the recipe alone so I include my altered recipe. It is the softest, moistest, tastiest whole wheat bread I've made! Even if I leave the blueberries out, it will be tasty!!!
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup + 2 tbsp water
3 tbsp dark brown sugar 2 Tbs. molasses + 1 Tbs. honey
2 tbsp

1¼ tsp salt
¾ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup rolled oats
1 egg white
3/4 cup - 1 cup thawed wild blueberries
