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

- Serve as a sweet brunch option with coffee or tea.
