Best Fresh Strawberry Bread Recipes

FRESH STRAWBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
• Pour vinegar into a measuring cup. Fill with milk to the 1/2 cup measuring mark. Set aside.
• Blend sugar, cream cheese, and butter together using a pastry blender in a large bowl until combined and smooth. Add 1 egg at a time, blending after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Stir together until combined. Fold a quarter of the flour mixture at a time into egg mixture until batter is doughy. Fold in milk-vinegar mixture until blended, making sure not to overmix. Mix in mashed strawberries with their juices just until combined. Pour dough into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.

FRESH STRAWBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, place the sliced strawberries. Sprinkle the slices with the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This will create a nice syrup with the berries.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Blend together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil, vanilla, eggs, strawberry slices and its syrup. Dump the strawberry mixture into the flour mixture, and mix just until blended.
• Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan (9 inches x 5 inches) and bake for approximately 50 minutes.
• HINTS: This bread is lovely with cream cheese. Egg substitute (like Egg Beaters) can be used instead of the eggs - just make sure you use the equivalent of 2 eggs. Chef Walter suggests variations of adding 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans or a bit of cinnamon to the batter, if you like.
