Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon ginger
¾ teaspoon salt
7 ounces milk
2 large eggs
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups fresh strawberries chopped

Instructions

Mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger and salt together in a large bowl. Make a hole in the center and add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until combined.
Add the strawberries and fold into the batter. Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 bread pan and bake for 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack or cutting board and slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Tip 1: To keep the strawberries from sinking to the bottom, coat them lightly in flour before adding to the batter.

Tip 2: Slice extra strawberries thinly and layer on top of the bread prior to baking for a beautiful presentation.

Tip 3: Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar crystals to make the loaf extra sweet.
