Tips for the Best Strawberry Bread
- Use fresh strawberries: Frozen strawberries can add extra moisture and make the bread soggy.
- Don’t overmix: Fold ingredients gently to keep the bread light and tender.
- Optional glaze: Drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
