Strawberry Bread

Creative in concept, simple in execution-I wish I had thought of this Strawberry Bread recipe myself.  I am admittedly besotted with it. I made this for the first time the other week and two days later made it once more and have been enjoying it with my morning coffee  for the last few days.

I love the taste of buttermilk and in this recipe it leaves behind a subtle hint of its presence in the flavor while helping to bind the texture into a tight moist crumb. Releasing bits of juicy sweetness, the strawberries take on a gusher like quality with every bite to tie everything together.

A few notes:

• Hit the jump and go over to My Baking Addiction for the recipe.
• Buy organic if you can. Not only are organic fruits and vegetables healthier for you, but they are three times as sweet and flavorful.
• If you would like a more strawberry covered top, gently place extra chopped pieces on the top of the batter. The thickness of the batter will prevent the strawberries from sinking through.
• The strawberry bread can be kept on the counter up for up to three days in an airtight container.
