What is a quick bread?
Quick breads are a type of bread that is made without yeast. Instead of using yeast, quick breads use ingredients like baking powder or baking soda to help the bread rise.
Quick breads are usually denser and more moist than traditional yeasted breads. There are many different types of quick bread, including banana bread, zucchini bread, and of course, strawberry bread!
Quick breads are quick and easy to make, which is why they got their name. This recipe for strawberry bread is the perfect example of a quick and easy quick bread that your whole family will love. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
What do eggs do for quick bread?
Eggs are a key ingredient in quick bread recipes. They help to bind the ingredients together, and they also add moisture. The eggs in this recipe also help the strawberry bread to rise slightly and become nice and fluffy.
What is the purpose of milk in quick breads?
Milk is another key ingredient in quick bread recipes. Milk adds moisture, which helps to keep the bread moist and delicious. It also adds richness and flavor.
In this recipe, we use oil instead of butter. Can I use butter instead?
Yes, you can! If you prefer to use butter instead of oil, simply substitute the same amount of melted butter for the oil.
I don’t have fresh strawberries. Can I use frozen?
I don’t recommend using frozen strawberries in this recipe due to the fact that frozen strawberries are very wet when thawed.
What is the best way to serve strawberry bread?
Strawberry bread is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. I love just eating it by the slice!
For a simple snack, slice the bread and enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee. If you’re looking for something a little more substantial, toast a slice of strawberry bread and top it with butter or cream cheese.
For a truly indulgent breakfast, make French toast using thick slices of strawberry bread. Serve it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a real treat.
No matter how you enjoy it, strawberry bread is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
Can strawberry bread be frozen?
Yes, it can! Strawberry bread freezes beautifully. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy it, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. I like to pre-slice my breads so I can pull out just what I need! But you can also freeze the entire loaf.

Can the batter be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated over night to bake in the morning?
If you want to make this bread ahead of time, I recommend mixing just the dry ingredients and then mix in the wet ingredients right before baking. The baking powder will lose it’s potency if you don’t bake it right away.
