Ingredients

½ cup boiling water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups blueberries
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Mix boiling water and butter for bread in a small bowl; set aside until butter has melted and mixture has cooled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pans.
Combine blueberries and 2 tablespoons flour in a bowl; toss to coat. Sift remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Add sugar, orange juice, cooled butter mixture, lemon juice, and eggs to the flour mixture; mix until well combined. Fold in flour-dusted blueberries. Divide batter and pour into the prepared loaf pans.
Combine sugar, flour, softened butter, and cinnamon for topping in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until combined and crumbly. Sprinkle on top of the 2 loaves.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
