Strawberry Bread
Strawberry Bread is a moist quick bread made with all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and chopped fresh strawberries folded into a lightly sweetened batter. Chopped toasted pecans add crunch, while a smooth vanilla glaze drizzled atop enriches sweetness and presentation. This bread offers a soft crumb and fruity flavor for breakfast or snack.
