Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Fresh Strawberries: Select ripe berries for sweetness; they should be vibrant red without any soft spots.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Use good-quality flour for the best texture; sift it if you want an extra-light loaf.
  • Granulated Sugar: This adds sweetness; adjust the amount based on your personal preference.
  • Baking Powder: Make sure it’s fresh to ensure your bread rises beautifully.
  • Salt: Just a pinch enhances all the flavors wonderfully.
  • Eggs: They bind everything together; use large eggs at room temperature for best results.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter gives richness; melt it for an easy mix-in.
  • Vanilla Extract: A splash adds depth; use pure vanilla extract if possible.
  • Sour Cream or Yogurt: This keeps the bread moist and tender—don’t skip it!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The dry ingredients should look fluffy and inviting.

Prepare Strawberries: Chop fresh strawberries into small pieces and gently fold them into the dry mixture. This ensures every bite bursts with berry goodness.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs with melted butter, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth. The mixture should be creamy with a lovely aroma.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix! Your dough should be thick but not dry.

Bake Your Bread: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool Down Time: Allow your strawberry bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!

Enjoy Your Creation: Slice that beauty up once cooled! Serve it plain or slathered with butter—either way is delightful!

With each step carefully laid out like breadcrumbs leading to blissful bites of strawberry goodness, you’re now ready to bake one of life’s simple pleasures! Enjoy that sweet reward—your homemade strawberry bread awaits!
