Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon flour (to toss strawberries)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the active and bubbly sourdough starter, granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt ensuring even distribution.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix; fold until just combined to keep the bread tender.
- Prepare Strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This step helps prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Add Strawberries and White Chocolate: Fold the floured strawberries and white chocolate chips into the batter evenly, giving the bread a balanced flavor and texture.
- Fill Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This prevents sogginess and allows flavors to develop.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are well-dried after washing to avoid excess moisture affecting the bread texture.
- The bread tastes better the next day as the flavors deepen and meld together.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate to keep it fresh longer.
