Blackberry Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Stir together flour and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl;
• Stir in blackberries.
• Whisk together sugar and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended.
• Add to flour mixture, stirring just until blended.
• Pour batter into a lightly greased 8 1/2- x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes.
• Remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).

Steps:

• Combine the milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and the yeast in a large bowl; stir the egg yolks and whipping cream into the milk mixture. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter or shortening until it's the size of small peas. Turn mixture into a bowl and proceed.) Stir in yeast mixture until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured board. Divide the dough into three portions and shape them into balls. Toss blackberries with sugar.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Roll each ball out to a 9x12-inch rectangle. Spoon blackberries evenly onto the center third of each rectangle, width-wise. Using a knife, cut about 9 slanting lines along each side approximately 1 inch apart. Create a braid by folding alternating strips from each side, overlapping the berries. Place the pastry braid onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining two portions. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix blackberries and sugar together in a bowl. Transfer to a 9x13-inch glass baking pan and spread evenly over the bottom.
• Sprinkle cake mix evenly over the berries. Place butter slices evenly over the cake mix; most of the cake mix should be covered with butter slices. Do not mix or stir.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
