Method
 

Baking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your bread bakes evenly and rises beautifully.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Loaf Pan - Grease your loaf pan with a bit of oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal once baked.
  3. Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, mix the vanilla extract, vinegar, oil, and water. Stir until blended.
  5. Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Fold in Blueberries - Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Step 7: Bake - Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Serve - Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • To make it vegan, replace vinegar with lemon juice and use plant-based sugar.
  • Store sliced bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
