If you like blueberry muffins and have a bread machine, you should try Blueberry Muffin Bread. I used to buy Sara Lee's Blueberry Crumble Bread, but this recipe gives it a run for its money.

| Only 1 tsp. of yeast is needed. |
Blueberry Muffin Bread
3/4 cup milk (between 77-85 degrees F)
1 egg*
3 tbsp. water (between 77-85 degrees F)
2 tbsp. butter (cut in pieces, room temperature)
3 tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/3 cup dried blueberries**
3 cups bread flour
1 tsp. active dry yeast or bread machine yeast
1. Measure all ingredients (even blueberries) into baking pan in the
order recommended by the manufacturer. Insert pan into the bread
machine.
2. Select Basic or White Bread Cycle, 1.5-pound setting, and medium crust setting.
3. Remove immediately from baking pan when done and let cool 15 minutes before slicing.

*Your egg should be room temperature. A safe way to achieve this is to place the egg in a cup of hot water for 5 minutes.
**Look for dried blueberries that are fresh and soft, because you want the blueberries to break up during mixing. The best I've found is the Mariani brand available at Wal-Mart.
Note: This makes great toast. After the first day or two, I slice the rest of the loaf and lay the slices side-by-side on baking sheets. I freeze the slices (don't even have to bother covering), and when they're frozen, I put them in freezer Ziploc bags. Then I just pull out a piece now and then and pop it in the toaster...no thawing needed. I do have to run it through a couple of toasting cycles, but it tastes like I just made it.
