Strawberry Bread

This is a recipe I found this recipe on Facebook in a group called Recipes For You. I decided to give it a try, I didn't have enough strawberries for a glaze. Just had it without a glaze .

Ingredients --

For the Bread:

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour or Unbleached Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups diced strawberries
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup finely diced strawberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk** (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, milk, oil, egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, toss together the strawberries and the 2 tablespoons of flour to coat the strawberries. Fold the floured strawberries gently into the batter.
Pour the bread batter into a greased 9"x5" bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the bread should come out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, diced strawberries and extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is smooth.
Once the bread is cool, spread the glaze on top of the bread. Slice and serve.

Strawberry Honey Butter

Strawberry Honey Butter

1 cup unsalted butter ,room temperature
pinch of kosher salt
8 small strawberries ,stems removed, chopped
1/4 cup honey

In a medium bowl, crush strawberries using a potato masher (you should end up with 1/2 cup); set aside.
Place butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times until butter is fluffy. Scrape down the sides, if necessary.
Add in the mashed strawberries; pulse several more times until incorporated.
Add in the honey and pulse until incorporated, and light and fluffy.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. Bring to room temperature for 15 minutes before serving
If you don’t have a food processor, you can easily use a bowl and hand held mixer following the same steps listed.
This will keep in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, up to 10 days.

A little of this flavored butter goes a long way - if you don’t think you’ll go through it in 10 days, simply cut the recipe in half. You can always make it again, since it’s so easy!
