If you’re looking for a quick & easy treat that includes strawberries, look no further. This bread can be whipped up in just a few minutes without dragging out the mixer. It’s a moist, not too sweet bread, with a tasty strawberry glaze, that goes great with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk. If you don’t care for glaze, you could frost it with a nice cream cheese frosting. Thanks to John Kanell for sharing this recipe.
