• Prepare Pan – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch nonstick metal loaf pan with baking spray. Set aside.

• Sift Dry Ingredients – Use a whisk to sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl whisk together the granulated sugar, yogurt, butter, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts until fully combined.
• Combine – Add the yogurt mixture to the sifted flour mixture. Mix by hand until fully moistened.
• Add Strawberries – To the bowl, add the flour coated strawberries. Gently fold to incorporate into the batter.
• Transfer Batter to Pan – Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
• Oven – Transfer to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. (Check at 30 minutes and lay foil on top to prevent overbrowning, if needed).

• Make the Glaze: In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled strawberry bread.

How to Make the BEST Strawberry Bread Recipe

• Key ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Strawberry Bread: Fresh strawberries, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, strawberry yogurt or strawberry Greek yogurt, unsalted butter, large eggs, pure vanilla extract and almond extract.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Two small bowls, one large bowl, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, 9×5-inch loaf pan, large rubber spatula, sharp knife and cutting board.
• You could adapt this recipe using plain yogurt in place of strawberry yogurt, if that’s what you have on hand. The strawberry yogurt just gives it a little boost in flavor.
• Choose strawberries that are red, free of mold and bruising with a fresh green stem.
• Why toss the strawberries with flour? It’s important to toss the cubed strawberries with flour to help distribute them evenly in the batter. It also helps contain the juices.
• You could replace butter with the same amount of vegetable oil.
• If you don’t care for the flavor of a small amount of almond extract, you can omit it or replace it with more vanilla extract. You could also use strawberry extract.
• You may opt to dust this bread with powdered sugar and omit the vanilla cream glaze.

• Storage: You can freeze Strawberry Bread for up to 2 months. When doing so, wait to glaze the top prior to serving.
