With the added blueberries sinking to the bottom, you’re going to want to do what you can to add to the small bowl, whisk, and then prep to place into the prepared pan.
You’re also going to want to cover the dough with plastic wrap to give it time to raise. It gets almost double the size which is pretty cool to see.

Can you use frozen blueberries in this recipe instead of fresh blueberries?
Use fresh if at all possible. Frozen blueberries will release liquid and it will really affect the outcome of the bread.
If the bread has too much liquid, it’s not going to cook very well and will possibly fall apart while it’s cooling on the wire rack.
