Cooking Tips |
|
*The more flavorful
your strawberries are, the more they will add strawberry
flavor to this bread. I found that French strawberries
from my Farmer's market stand worked wonderfully! |
|
**If you're using
fresh strawberries, save a couple of extra ones to slice
thinly and place on top of the batter before baking.
You'll get a nice decor on top of your bread. |
|
***Check in the
middle of baking, and if it's browning too much on top,
gently set a piece of foil on top of the bread to keep
it from browning further. |
