Instructions
Bread
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Liberally grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and set aside until needed.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and table salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the granulated sugar, whole milk, vegetable oil, large egg, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix to combine the wet ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, toss together the chopped strawberries and the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to coat the strawberries.
Add the coated strawberries to the batter. Mix just enough to combine.
Pour the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Place the loaf pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and place it on the wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze
Add the powdered sugar, diced strawberries, whole milk, and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
*If the glaze is too thick add a little more milk. If the glaze is too thin add more powdered sugar.
When the bread has cooled completely, pour the glaze over the top of the bread.
Notes
Can I use frozen strawberries?Yes, you can. Thaw and drain them well before using them to avoid excess moisture in the bread. Save the juice and use part of it in the glaze for extra flavor.
Can I use other fruit to make this recipe?Absolutely. You can use blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, pineapple, plums, mangoes, and nectarines to make the quick bread.
Why is my strawberry bread soggy in the middle?The main reason is underbaking. However, too much moisture from the berries, especially if you're using frozen, can also make it soggy. It's essential to test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
