I really like strawberry bread. And I've made it before, probably the very same recipe that I'm posting now. But you see, I've gotten wiser in the ten years since I've made this bread, so this time, it turned out AWESOME. So, the joke's on whomever thought it would be funny to hide this recipe in my collection.
Strawberry Bread
1 1/2 c oil
2 c sugar
3 eggs
3 c flour
1 t soda
1 t cinnamon
3/4 t salt
1 1/2-2 c frozen strawberries with juice (thawed)
1 c nuts (I omitted, yet again)
Mix oil, sugar, egg. Add dry ingredients and mix (If too dry, add some strawberry...
juice? Fold in berries and nuts. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes 2 loaves. Note: Do NOT double the amount of strawberries.
And that's it. I looked on the internet for a similar recipe to figure out baking time and such, and I noticed that the recipe I was reading made two loaves. It's a good thing I went to the effort to look up the rest of the directions, because I would have ended up with one huge loaf of overflowing bread and a mess in the oven. And then you all would have even more to laugh about.
I substituted half the oil with applesauce. 1 1/2 c oil is a lot. I also was trying to use some fresh strawberries I had, so I sliced them up and mixed them with the sugar, then let them sit while I got the rest of the stuff ready. It worked fine in place of frozen.
Glad it turned out this time. At least better than times before...
