📝 Ingredients for Strawberry Bread
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups (about 220g) fresh strawberries, chopped

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam (optional, for enhanced flavor)
- Extra flour (for coating strawberries)
👩🍳 How to Make Strawberry Bread
- Wash, dry, and chop the fresh strawberries. Toss them lightly in a tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the floured strawberries carefully without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
💡 Tips for Perfect Strawberry Bread
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Coating strawberries in flour helps distribute them evenly in the loaf.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
