Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups strawberries, diced
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)

For the Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly and set it aside to ensure the bread won’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk or mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the salt and baking powder. Then, gradually add the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing gently just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  4. Prepare Strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread while baking.
  5. Fold Strawberries into Batter: Gently fold the flour-coated diced strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
  6. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  8. Make the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  9. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Coating the strawberries with flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.
  • Make sure the bread is completely cooled before adding the glaze to avoid it melting and running off.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more powdered sugar if too thin, or a small amount of milk if too thick.
  • Fresh strawberries are best for this recipe to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
