Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 to 4 c. plus 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 c. C & H granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 pkg. Fleischmann's active dry or RapidRise yeast
  • 1/2 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/2 c. butter or margarine
  • 3 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Spice Islands ground cinnamon
  • 2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed and drained
  • Baker's Joy (nonstick baking spray)

Method

  • In a large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 2/3 cup sugar, salt and undissolved yeast.
  • Heat milk, water and butter until liquids are very warm (120° to 130°).
  • Butter does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. With spoon, stir in enough additional flour to make soft batter. Cover; let rise in warm, draft free place, until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • (For Fleischmann's RapidRise yeast, cover batter.
  • Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Proceed with recipe.)
