Directions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C.
Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Prepare Strawberries:
In a small bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread as it bakes.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
4. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add Eggs and Wet Ingredients:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the yogurt or sour cream and vanilla extract.
6. Combine Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Strawberries:
Gently fold in the floured strawberries and optional nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
9. Cool:
