Blueberry Marble Bread

I love to bake breads. I just can't resist to try any bread recipes (the ones that I find interesting and challenging!) that I came across either in the internet, magazines or in my cookbooks. And that passion will increase when my dear daughter is around. She loves eating bread, especially the ones that just came out of the oven! She can smell the bread aroma a mile away! Hahahahaha..... When I saw her enjoying the freshly baked buns... all my effort is worthwhile! I miss you gegirl.....

But it's not always, all my experiments will turn out the way I want it to be. Not all of my experiments are excellent... some are even disastrous!!! Like recently, before I tried this one, I had tried another challenging recipe. It was a job actually, to prepare the bread and what did I get in the end.... a heavy bread... or can I even call it bread???? Hahaha... My mom felt pity for me. All my effort was a waste, she had said. If you had taken a nap instead of trying to bake the bread, you won't be that tired! What she doesn't know is, the more I take naps, the more I'll feel tired!!!! Hahaha... Anyway, I think, the yeast is the culprit! Therefore, I sentenced it to be dumped into the dustbin! ***Hahahaha*** (evil laugh!!!) But that doesn't put me down. I still have my strong willpower to try out bread recipes.... chaiyok mama!!!

Enough said, here's the recipe if anybody care to take the challenge.... good luck to you..... And oh, where's my manners. Thank you Onigiri of MyResipi for this nice recipe. And sorry, I altered your recipe just to give some variety...
