Strawberry Bread is a great afternoon snack, it’s quite simple to make and tastes delicious with icing and butter. Best served warm!
At this time of year when strawberries are in season and are cheap, it is a great idea to buy in bulk and freeze them for use in bread like this so you can enjoy the very best strawberries all year round!
