Fresh Strawberry Bread
Fresh Strawberry Bread – this soft and moist bread full of fresh and juicy, diced strawberries topped with strawberry glaze is a real breakfast treat, a snack or a dessert.
Ingredients
- FOR THE BREAD:
- 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon rum extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cups finely diced fresh strawberries
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 ¼ cop powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon rum extract
- ⅓ cup finely diced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- THE MAKE THE BREAD - Preheat the oven to 350 F. Meanwhile, line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, then add baking powder and salt and whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat an egg and granulated sugar, at medium speed, until light and fluffy, then add oil, milk, lemon zest, rum and beat some more until it’s combined.
- Lower the speed to low, add flour mixture and mix just to combine. Do not overmix!
- Next, add a spoonful of flour to strawberries and toss to coat. Gently fold strawberries into the batter and pour it into the pan that has already been prepared.
- Bake the bread for about an hour, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
- When it’s baked, take the bread out of the oven and leave it for 10-15 min in the loaf pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- TO MAKE THE FROSTING - Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, melted butter and rum until it’s smooth, then add strawberries and stir to combine. Spread the frosting over the cooled bread, slice it and serve.
Notes
- How to store the leftovers?
- Keep them in the fridge wrapped or in an airtight container for 3-4 days or refrigerated in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months.
- All ingredients should be room temperature.
- Do not overbeat the batter!
- Slowly add milk into the frosting, so that it doesn’t get too runny! Keep in mind that when you mix in the strawberries, they will release some water and the glaze will be more runny. If it is too hard, add 1 teaspoon of milk until you get the desired consistency.
- Do not put the frosting over the hot bread, but over the completely cooled one!
