Strawberry Bread



1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light olive oil

  • 1 egg

  • 1 1/2 cups SR flour, sifted

  • 1/2 cup of milk

  • 250g punnet of strawberries


  • Take punnet of strawberries and thinly slice half the berries and cut remainder into halves. Lightly grease a loaf pan and line with baking paper. Place sugar, oil and egg in a medium bowl. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer for 5-8 mins until thick and creamy. Fold in flour alternately with the milk, then fold in sliced berries. Spread mixture into prepared pan, top with halved strawberries. Bake in a 170C preheated oven for 55 mins to an hour or until cooked in centre. Stand in pan for 10mins then turn onto rack to cool.
