Blueberry Ricotta Muffins

A rich, blueberry-packed muffin with ricotta and sour cream, and the big bakery dome.

Breads

This recipe makes two good-sized loaves. Baking it in an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven gives it a nice, crusty exterior and a soft, chewy interior. The steel-cut oats, along with the rolled oats, give the bread great texture, inside and out.
