Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick baking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, canola oil, half and half, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Toss the chopped strawberries with the extra tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
Baking
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glazing
- In a small bowl, pulverize freeze dried strawberries into a powder. Mix with powdered sugar and add half and half to reach desired glaze consistency.
- Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled loaf and let set for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For healthier options, consider replacing some all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, reducing sugar, or using Greek yogurt to increase protein content. This loaf stores well and is great for meal prep.
