Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup sourdough starter discard
  • 1 cup mashed strawberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 pieces eggs Ensure they are at room temperature
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a perfectly baked bread.
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter discard, mashed strawberries, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well blended.
  4. Crack the two eggs into the mixture and whisk them until fully incorporated.
  5. In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, folding until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
  6. Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Slice and serve warm, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment!

Notes

For a twist, consider adding chocolate chips instead of strawberries, or using whole wheat flour for added fiber. Don’t over-mix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
