Ingredients

Scale

Bread Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (Weighing for accuracy is preferred.)
  • 1 cup sugar (Granulated sugar.)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (Ensure it’s fresh for proper rising.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Adjust if using salted butter.)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (Allow to cool slightly before mixing.)
  • 2 large eggs (Use room temperature for best emulsification.)
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (Reserve 1/4 cup for the glaze.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (Adjust for desired consistency.)
  • 1/4 cup chopped strawberries for glaze (For texture and color.)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to ensure the bread does not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined to distribute leavening agents thoroughly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter and eggs until smooth, then stir in the chopped strawberries and vanilla extract to incorporate flavor and moisture evenly.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the bread tough.
  5. Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, leveling the top with a spatula for an even rise during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to promote even baking, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool Bread: Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the bread firms up and prevents sogginess.
  8. Make Glaze: While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and reserved chopped strawberries. Adjust milk quantity as needed to achieve a drizzle consistency.
  9. Glaze Bread: Drizzle the strawberry glaze evenly over the cooled loaf, allowing it to pool slightly on top for a beautiful and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to ensure better mixing and a lighter bread texture.
  • Ensure baking soda is fresh to help the bread rise properly.
  • Cooling the bread completely before glazing helps the glaze to set properly without melting off.
  • Adjust milk in the glaze to your preferred thickness for drizzle or coating.
  • For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
