Delicious Strawberry Bread
Sometimes flavors come together when you least expect them. I love strawberries and they are generally available year-round in my area. I love creating new and different foods and always get excited about new ideas. My Strawberry Bread was born out of the available ingredients before me, and I knew it would be great. This recipe is easy to make and takes very little time to prepare.
I generally set a timer for 20 minute intervals checking the loaf carefully. You can do this any way you like but be sure to catch it when it is just right. Soft golden brown and crispy looking top and don't forget the knife trick as above. Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups of King Arthur All Purpose Flour
1 Cup high quality sugar
1 Tsp. baking powder
1/2 Tsp. salt
1/2 Cup of milk
2 or 3 Tbsp's fresh strawberries pureed
6 Tbsp. good quality cooking oil of choice
2 eggs beaten
Directions
Cream flour, sugar, powder, and salt together and mix until smooth with no lumps
Add well-beaten eggs and milk
Add pureed strawberries and mix well until smooth
Save back 2 Tbsp's of the puree mix for later
Place mixture in a large floured bread dish
Bake in slow oven of 300 degrees for 1½ hours or until lightly browned
Check for consistency by sticking a kitchen knife into the loaf. It should pull out clean and dry when ready
Now for the fun part! When your loaf is looking good with a golden brown top, open the oven and slide the dish out the shelf. Spoon on the remaining strawberry mixture being careful not to let it overflow the side of the backing dish. Try to cover the entire top as I show in the images. Then, turn off oven and slide the loaf back in. With oven door closed, let the top mixture settle for about 15 minutes. You will love the nutty texture the baked in strawberry mixture provides.
Serve
With heavy crème mix or cool whip. How happy are your taste buds?
