I wanted to share a recipe for this delicious strawberry bread I made today. My husband brought home a lot of strawberries...and I mean a lot! So I thought I would make a bread with it. This recipe makes 2 loafs so if you just want one (which is what I should have done because chance are I will eat both) you can half it. It really is a tasty & fast treat.Enjoy!
Ingredients
Bread
1 cup butter
1 cup Ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup milk
5 cups flour
4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon salt
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Preheat oven to 350.
Prep all your ingredients ahead of time. This will help to make sure you have all the ingredients you need for the recipe and to help make things move faster. In a large bowl combine the butter and the Ricotta cheese together and beat till well mixed.Then add sugar,and one egg at a time. Add Condensed milk,Milk and vanilla and stir all together. In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients(flour,baking powder,soda,etc..)and then mix all ingredients together. Fold in the fresh sliced strawberries and pour out into 2 greased 9x5 loaf pans. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 60-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. If you are using a heat thermometer you want it to read between 180F to 185F. Allow to cool in the loaf pans for 10 minutes before removing and cooling on a wire rack.
You can glaze it with powdered sugar glaze,condensed milk,or try your own. Anyway this is a delicious treat! Enjoy!
