Strawberry Bread image

The recipe for this fruit-swirled quick bread comes from Debbie Cascio-van Hees, a reader from the Netherlands. It calls for fresh strawberries, but you can substitute thawed frozen berries. Softened cream cheese is a delicious spread.

Add flour mixture alternately with 1/3 cup water, beginning and ending with flour. Fold in reserved strawberries.
