Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper or by greasing the pan.
- Chop the strawberries and add them to a bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the strawberries, mix, and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, sourdough discard, milk, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the strawberries. If there is any remaining flour in the bowl from coating the strawberries in the beginning, do not add it to the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf ban. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The internal temperature of the loaf should read between 200 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the loaf pan on a wire rack and allow the bread to cool completely, then remove it from the loaf pan.
- The next step is to make the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, cream, and crushed strawberries in a small bowl.
- Pour the icing over the bread and serve!
- Notes
- If the bread is starting to brown too fast, cover the top with foil or parchment paper.
- I highly recommend making it with the strawberry glaze, this really brings out the flavor of the strawberry filing.
- Be sure not to over mix the bread dough to avoid a tough texture.
