Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup boiling water
• ¼ cup molasses
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• ¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• ¼ cup cornmeal
• 2 cups frozen blueberries, dry pack

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir cornmeal into boiling water. Stir in butter, molasses, and egg.

Step 2

Dissolve yeast in warm water (110 degrees F).

Step 3

When cornmeal mixture is lukewarm, stir in dissolved yeast. Beat in flour until a stiff dough is formed. Knead dough on a heavily floured board until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.

Step 4

Punch down and roll dough into a 10" square. Sprinkle blueberries over dough, pressing them into the dough. Roll up like a jelly roll. Tuck ends of roll under to seal ends and place seam-side down into a well-greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45-50 minutes. Turn out and cool on a rack. Cool thoroughly before cutting.
