Strawberry Bread

There’s something incredibly comforting about baking, especially when the recipe calls for the sweet and tangy goodness of strawberries. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s been a hit in my kitchen: Strawberry Bread with a Sweet Glaze. This delightful treat marries the juiciness of fresh strawberries with a moist, tender bread, all topped off with a lusciously sweet glaze. It’s perfect for breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack, or even as a dessert. Let’s dive into the recipe.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Bread:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
• 1/2 cup 2% milk (4 ounces)
• 1/2 cup canola oil or coconut oil (4 ounces)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 grams)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups diced strawberries
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar (260 grams)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/3 cup finely diced strawberries
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
• 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (optional for desired consistency)

Directions to Sweetness:

1. Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ºF (177ºC). This ensures the oven is ready for your bread the moment the batter is done.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and your choice of extract until well combined. These ingredients form the base of your bread, giving it a moist and tender texture.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This mixture will help your bread rise and give it structure.
4. Merge Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. It’s crucial not to overmix here, as doing so can lead to a denser bread.
5. Prepare Strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the batter during baking. Gently fold the strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into a greased 9″x5″ bread pan and bake for 50-55 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when it’s done.
7. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and extract until smooth. Spread over the cooled bread for a touch of sweetness.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the glaze has set, slice the bread and serve. This strawberry bread is a delight on its own or paired with a cup of tea or coffee.
