Buttermilk Strawberry Bread

Ben O'Donoghue

Ingredients:

Bread

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, at room temperature*
3/4 cup (150g) caster sugar
1/4 cup (50g) soft brown sugar
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (no substitutions)
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil (or canola; or melted coconut oil)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, rinsed, dried, chopped, and tossed in 1 Tablespoon of flour

Glaze

1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream or milk

Method:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray. I prefer a dark metal loaf pan, which seems to help brown quick breads more evenly.
Make the bread: In a large bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Make sure there are no brown sugar lumps remaining. Whisk in the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until there are no more lumps. Try very hard not to overmix, which will result in a tough textured bread. Fold in the strawberries.
Bake the bread for 50 minutes to 1 hour. I cover the bread loosely with aluminum foil after 30 minutes to prevent
