You won’t believe this, but I gotta tell ya ’bout this blueberry lentil bread recipe. It’s somethin’ else, I tell ya. Keeps ya full, too. Good for the tummy and all that. I ain’t no fancy cook, but this one, even I can do it.
So, you wanna know how to make this thing, huh? It ain’t hard, not like them fancy cakes them city folks make. This here’s a good, honest blueberry lentil bread. Good for breakfast, good for a little somethin’ somethin’ when you’re feelin’ peckish.
First off, you gotta get your stuff together. It ain’t a lot, don’t you worry. Here’s what you need:
- Flour. Just regular flour.
- Them little blue things, blueberries.
- Lentils. Yep, them little brown things.
- Some powder what makes it rise, bakin’ powder, I think they call it.
- Salt, just a pinch.
- Some water and other wet stuff to make it stick together.
Now, you gotta do things in order, like feedin’ the chickens before milkin’ the cow. First you gotta get two bowls. In one, you put all the dry stuff. Flour, that bakin’ powder, and the salt. Mix it all up real good with a spoon, or your hand if you ain’t got one.
In the other bowl you gonna put the wet stuff. Don’t ask me the specifics, cause I don’t recall, but it ain’t rocket science. Then you put the stuff from one bowl in the other bowl. It don’t matter too much if wet goes into dry, or dry goes into wet. Just make sure it all mixed up. Mix it, mix it, mix it! Until it’s all gooey and sticky, like mud after a good rain. Then, you toss in them blueberries and them lentils. Don’t be stingy now! Mix it all up again. You want them berries and them little lentils all over in that batter.
Then, you gotta bake it. Now, I got an oven, but if you ain’t got one, I reckon you can try somethin’ else, like one of them open fire things. Anyway, you gotta put it in a pan. A bread pan, you know, the long kind. Grease it up first, though, so it don’t stick. Butter works, or lard if you got some. Then you pour that goop in there and smooth it out. This recipe for blueberry bread is pretty simple, see? Even I can do it, and I can’t even work them newfangled phones.
Then, you gotta stick it in the oven. Now, I don’t know ’bout them fancy ovens with all them numbers. Just make it hot, but not too hot, ya know? Like a warm summer day, not a scorcher. You don’t want to burn it, just gotta bake it till it’s done. Poke it with a knife or a toothpick, my neighbor taught me that trick. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If it’s still gooey, give it some more time.
This blueberry lentil bread, it’s real good for you. Them lentils, they got all sorts of good stuff in ’em. Keeps you goin’ all day, like a good mule. And the blueberries, well, they just taste good, don’t they? Sweet and a little tart. Makes ya feel like you’re eatin’ somethin’ special, even though it ain’t nothin’ fancy.
It is a good breakfast, that’s for sure. My grandkids, when they come over, they love it. I make ’em a big ol’ loaf, and they eat it all up. Sometimes with butter, sometimes with jam. Don’t matter, it’s good either way.
You can keep it for a few days, too. Just wrap it up in a cloth or somethin’. It ain’t gonna last forever, nothin’ does, but it’ll keep for a bit. Long enough to enjoy it, anyway. Don’t need none of them fancy preservatives the stores put in their food neither.
So, there you have it. My blueberry lentil bread recipe. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And it’s easy, too. Even an old gal like me can make it. So, give it a try. You might just like it. And it’s good for you, too. Them lentils, they’re a miracle, I tell ya. And the blueberries, well, they just make it taste good. It’s a win-win, as they say. Don’t cost much to make, either. Flour, lentils, blueberries. Things most folks got around, ‘specially if you got a garden. So, yeah, give it a try. You won’t regret it. It’s a good, honest bread, just like the good, honest folks who eat it.
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that oxy-whatever stuff them young’uns is talkin’ ’bout. Sounds dangerous to me. Stick to good, honest food, like this bread. That’s my advice. Don’t need none of that other stuff to feel good. Just need a good meal in your belly and good folks around you. That’s what I always say. The recipe for blueberry bread that I use don’t need none of that stuff.
