Steamed Bao Buns (Baozi, 包子) are amazing. They are such a fun change-up to your typical US bread/biscuits. For me, they are incredibly nostalgic. I have memories of helping with my dad and my nai nai when we visited Texas in much younger years. It wasn’t a common meal in my house, but I was feeling a little nostalgic one day and decided to attempt the recreation of my nai nai’s version and way of making them (and she did use a scale 🤫).
A week or so ago, I was craving something with blueberries, but I didn’t want muffins. Plus I wanted something I could double and bake easily so I could bake one for a friend who just had a baby (to save a little time one morning for breakfast). So I thought blueberry bread would be good. Unfortunately, all the bread recipes I saw had lemon in it and I really didn’t want to have to go back to the grocery store to get a lemon… So I set out to construct my own blueberry bread, but in the course of my attempt, I ended up with a very yummy, very dense blueberry coffee cake instead. Which, honestly, I was more than happy to eat (and so was my family). 🙂
I try to make recipes that you can adjust for your family. If you actually prefer nuts, you could add 1 cup of walnuts or pecans to it if you wanted. My kids don’t always want nuts in bread like this or the banana bread I make, if I feel like adding nuts, I’ll make muffins instead and split the batter so that I can add nuts to half.
If you make muffins, they will take less time to bake, A LOT let less time, so keep that in mind.
This recipe truly reflects more of a bruschetta feel. Lazy summer days that beg for moving slowly and snacking often. Chop tomatoes, slices of avocado and mozzarella cheese. What more could a girl ask for???
