Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

How to make Strawberry Bread

1. Prepare the Strawberries

Wash and dice the strawberries. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Toss with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking in the batter.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

3. Make the Batter

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by sour cream and vanilla. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the strawberries.

4. Bake the Bread

Pour the batter into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Add Optional Glaze

Let bread cool completely before drizzling with glaze (if using).

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy a slice warm with butter or cream cheese.
  • Serve as a sweet brunch option with coffee or tea.
  • Add the glaze for a dessert-like finish.

This Strawberry Bread is moist, fruity, and the perfect way to use up fresh strawberries!
