I lost my favorite strawberry bread recipe. This sounded ideal. I doubled the recipe. Followed the instructions exactly. Was not sure how small to dice the strawberries. I diced small, but not too small. Baked according to the directions and toothpick inserted came out clean. Golden brown on top. After slicing the bread, there were some wet spots of strawberries. (This probably should not be the outcome, not sure.) I didn’t think it was sweet enough, and I’m not a sweetaholic. Cinnamon would be a nice addition for more flavor.
Delicious, Easy! Hard to keep it in the house! Will make again
Can I freeze the bread?
Yes, it is a great recipe to freeze.
This was really moist and delicious. I cook for only me and this was super easy to cut in half due to the two eggs originally called for. I divided this evenly into two prepared mini loaf pans. Baked them for 55 minutes and they came out perfect. I definitely will be making this again.
