1-Getting started with this strawberry bread: First, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9″x5″ bread pan to set the stage for a loaf that bakes evenly and slides out without sticking. This step ensures your bread has that perfect golden crust we’re aiming for.

2-Next: in one bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, 2% milk, canola oil or coconut oil, large egg, and vanilla or almond extract until everything blends smoothly. In another bowl, mix the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to create your dry base. Then, gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined don’t overdo it, as that keeps the bread light and fluffy.

3-Now: toss your 2 cups of diced strawberries with the extra 2 tablespoons of flour. This little trick helps them stay scattered throughout the batter instead of sinking. Fold them in gently, pour the batter into your prepared pan, and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10classnames minutes before moving to a wire rack.

4-Once cooled, whip up the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, melted butter, 1/3 cup of finely diced strawberries, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract. Mix until smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons rzeczyw of heavy cream or milk if needed for the right spreadable consistency. Spread it over the bread and slice it up for serving. This process takes together about 10 minutes of prep and 50 to 55 minutes of baking, totaling around 1 hour.
