Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bread

  • 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

For the Glaze

  • 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and eggs until smooth, then stir in the chopped strawberries and vanilla extract.
  4. Combining: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
  5. Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, rotating halfway, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cooling: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. Glazing: For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and reserved chopped strawberries, adjusting milk as necessary. Drizzle glaze over the cooled loaf and let it pool slightly on top.
