Today, while making Blueberry Orange Bread for playgroup, DD spilled some flour on the floor.

"Oh, what a mess," I said.

And DS explained to his sister, "We're making bread, not a mess."

Blueberry Orange Bread (pretty good, though not at all sweet really)

Dry Ingredients
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries (fresh, frozen, or drained canned)

Wet Ingredients
1/4 cup honey
grated rind and juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup oil

Do NOT preheat oven.

Combine the dry ingredients and stir to blend thoroughly.

Beat together the wet ingredients.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until the dry ingredients are moist. Spoon into a large (9 x 5") well-greased loaf pan (I used a 9" round) and let it stand for about 15 minutes.

Bake at 350F for 1 hour.

Let the bread cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Note: I dusted the pan with sugar and spread sugar on the top for crunch. The authors note it is good hot but better the next day.
