Glazed Strawberry Bread

Bread

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups diced strawberries
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (to toss the strawberries)

Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ⅓ cup finely diced strawberries
• ½ teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
• 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (optional)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine the 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Toss the diced strawberries with the 2 tablespoons flour so they don't sink.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined, then gently fold in the floured strawberries.
• Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 50–55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
• For the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries, vanilla, and enough cream or milk to make it spreadable. Spread over the fully cooled bread.

Use frozen strawberries if you don't have fresh – thaw first and drain off any liquid. From Instagram; recipe at tastesoflizzyt.com/strawberry-bread.
