Strawberry Bread

Lishie's Strawberry Bread 

• 3 cups AP Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 TBSp cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 Large Eggs (room temp.)
• 1&1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup Vegetable Oil (I use Canola)
• 2 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled & sliced
• 1&1/4 cups Peacan, toasted & Chopped

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease & flour 2 9X5" Loaf Pans. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, sugar & oil in a medium bow. 

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg mixture to the well & stir until well-blended. Stir in the strawberries & the pecans. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans & bake (on the center rack) until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. Cool in pans 10 mins, then on racks for 60 minutes.  

Nothing says summer like fresh, juicy, sweet smelling strawberries. I could get sick on eating tons of them. You know- the "good" sick? So much better than potato chip or cookie sick. This is a scrumptious recipe when you have an abundance of berries. The house will be overwhelmed with the gorgeous smell of... summer. Sigh.
