Directions:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and almond extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
3. In a small bowl, toss together the strawberries and the 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the strawberries. Fold the floured strawberries gently into the batter.
4. Pour the bread batter into a greased 9X5" bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, and extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.
6. Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve.
Notes per the author:
I often add an extra teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the bread batter (along with the wet ingredients) for an extra boost of flavor. I do this especially if I'm not putting the glaze on top. The bread has the most flavor when you add the strawberry glaze.
We have added up to 2 1/2 cups of diced strawberries to the batter. The bread stays together the best when you use about 2 cups.
If you like a "higher rise" of bread, reduced the baking powder to 1 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. This will change the texture slightly, but some like it a little better.
The need for milk will depend on how juicy your strawberries are. |
