My thought is ...Laura, I just caught your question. My thought is perhaps with fresh berries. The problem with frozen berries is their moisture would water the bread as it rises. In either case some of the berries will bruise and bleed into the dough. Flavor will still be wonderful but the appearance of the bread will suffer. I know this is not what you want to hear - sorry :-(.Mary Bergfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234678984137982414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-78506439521360191092009-05-26T19:55:34.565-04:002009-05-26T19:55:34.565-04:00Sounds delightful!

If they were dry I would definitely soak before using. The one lovely aspect of using dried berries is they don't bleed the way fresh berries have a tendency to do.Mary Bergfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234678984137982414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-71218081337093147512009-05-26T13:59:04.717-04:002009-05-26T13:59:04.717-04:00That just sings summer to me!That just sings summer to me!The Blonde Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085499120024055465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-37947144607593941662009-05-26T13:26:24.435-04:002009-05-26T13:26:24.435-04:00Mary, this looks delicious!

Where I am from, there is a huge Portuguese population and they have traditionally been the bakers in the coutry, owning pretty much every single bakery in every single corner in the city. Their breads are irresistable and innundate the streets witht he sweet aromas coming from the oven. This lemony version with blueberries looks perfect to me :)Martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391274489555334742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-87765309428373231272009-05-26T11:22:49.668-04:002009-05-26T11:22:49.668-04:00I wish I wasn't so scared to bake bread - this loo...I wish I wasn't so scared to bake bread - this looks amazing.

When it is made without lemon or blueberries it's exactly the same in flavor and texture as the bread made by the ancestors of Portuguese seamen on the Cape here in the U.S. You can make this with dried cranberries and orange zest and you will have a wonderful loaf. The shape is up to you. You spoke about Portuguese bread - we love that, too. It's not available in the town where we now live, but we were able to buy it on Ferry Street all those years ago.Mary Bergfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234678984137982414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-31027791877048102752009-05-26T10:10:10.679-04:002009-05-26T10:10:10.679-04:00I´m Portuguese but i do not know this bread.
