What is Quick Bread?
Quick bread is a type of bread that doesn’t use yeast! I bet that you have made some before (like banana bread or zucchini bread), and you didn’t even know that’s what they were called. I love having delicious quick bread recipes on hand because they are easy and, like the name says, quick! This strawberry quick bread has quickly become my family’s all-time favorite. This strawberry bread recipe uses freeze-dried strawberries as well as fresh strawberries. By using both, you get that strawberry flavor infused into the batter, but you also get fresh strawberries in just about every bite. To really make this recipe stand out then after it’s cooked, it is drizzled with a delightful strawberry glaze. It makes my mouth water just thinking of this bread! Cook it up for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!
Ingredients in Strawberry Quick Bread
Get to the store and grab some freeze-dried and fresh strawberries because you will not want to miss out on this easy strawberry bread recipe! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Freeze-Dried Strawberries: You are going to blend them up to make a fine, strawberry powder so that it mixes the flavor into the batter without any lumps. Granulated Sugar: This sweetens up the bread and is why you could even serve this as a dessert if you wanted to! Buttermilk: If you don’t have any buttermilk at home, don’t worry! Make it using only 2 ingredients here. Milk: I used 1 percent milk but any is fine! Vegetable Oil: This will make your bread nice and moist. Egg: I always like to use large eggs when I am baking. Vanilla Extract: Add a splash of vanilla flavor to the bread. Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe. Baking Powder and Baking Soda: These will be what helps your bread rise without using yeast. Salt: The salt enhances all of the ingredients in the bread. Fresh Strawberries: Dice these strawberries up really small.
Glaze
Powdered Sugar: I use this whenever I make a glaze because it dizzolves so easily and creates a smooth texture. Strawberries: Finely dice up some fresh strawberries to add to this glaze. Milk: The milk will bind the glaze together.
