Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a loaf pan with non-stick baking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together, then set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, canola oil, half and half, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla.
- Add the dry flour mixture to the wet sugar mixture and stir together until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with an extra tablespoon of flour, then gently stir the strawberries into the batter.
- Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Baking
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Glazing
- Smash the freeze-dried strawberries until powdered. In a small bowl, mix them with the powdered sugar and half and half to achieve desired glaze consistency.
- Drizzle or spread the icing over the loaf and let set for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store the bread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate. Slices freeze well for up to 3 months. Toast slices for warm breakfasts, and consider pairing with high-protein sides for balanced meals.
