Notes
Be sure to dry berries well after rinsing and after slicing if needed, to prevent excess moisture in the bread.
For best results, Do NOT over mix batter. Fold in strawberries once ingredients are just combined.
To prevent bread from browning too quickly, cover with foil halfway through baking.
You can test the temperature with an instant-read thermometer. It should be 200℉.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the fridge for longer storage. It freezes well for up to 3 months. A paper towel under the bread will absorb moisture.
