SOUR CREAM-BLUEBERRY BREAD
This dessert bread puts boring ole' banana bread to shame for sure! This recipe is amazing. The use of bananas/sour cream makes it as light as cake, and the sweetness of the bananas and sugar gives it a delightfully light and crunchy crust. I tried it when full and almost had an entire half-loaf. Only use fresh or frozen blueberries(they won't burst or go runny in this bread!), not dried. Mine were days old, but this recipe still brought them back to life! I don't have a food process, so I make the "banana pulp" using a fork and my hands. I also prefer (Emerald brand) glazed pecans, fist-crushed(but only slightly) in a ziplock, b/c normal ones taste too woody and drab for my taste. Another winner from Williams-Sonoma! *makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf*

Steps:
- 1) Preheat the oven to 350°F Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- 2) Mash the bananas well with a fork or coarsely purée them in a food processor. Measure out 1 cup and set aside.
- 3) In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nuts. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, vanilla, butter, and the 1 cup mashed banana pulp. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the banana mixture. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to break them up. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top of the bread is firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes(It takes 53 minutes in my pre-heated convection oven). Let cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Turn the loaf out onto the rack and let cool completely.
BLUEBERRY BREAD WITH SOUR CREAM
I got this in my Home Economics class! It's my and my friend Ann's first recipe we did together. The worst thing that kept on happening was when we burnt the lemon glaze! It is originally a blueberry muffin recipe, but the bread/muffins are good any way you bake it! Lemonade fits perfectly with this recipe!

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
- Whisk egg in a second medium bowl until well combined and light-colored, about 20 seconds. Add sugar and whisk vigorously until thick and homogenous, about 30 seconds; add melted butter in 2 or 3 additions, whisking to combine after each addition. Add sour cream in 2 additions, whisking just to combine.
- Add blueberries to the dry ingredients and gently toss just to combine. Add sour cream mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until the batter comes together and the berries are evenly distributed, 25 to 30 seconds. Small spots of flour may remain, and the batter will be thick. Don't overmix.
- Using a large spoon sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, spread the batter evenly into the greased loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is light brown and a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pan from front to back halfway through the baking time. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- While bread is cooling, mix 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Bring lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir to dissolve the sugar and simmer until the mixture is thick and syrupy and reduced to about 1/4 cup. Brush the top of the bread with glaze, then sprinkle the lemon sugar onto the glaze.
