Ingredients
Sweet Bread Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 2 tsp. Active Yeast (yep, yeast is vegan!)
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/4 Cup Bread Flour
- 1/8 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 lb. Fresh Strawberries (chopped)
Strawberry Glaze
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tbsp. Raw Sugar

Instructions
Baking the Bread
- Combine water, sugar, and yeast in the bread maker pan.
- Allow this to dissolve and foam as the yeast activates for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add in all purpose flour, bread flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
- Adjust the settings on your bread machine appropriately and allow it to knead the dough.
- Nearing the end of the kneading cycle, add in your chopped strawberries.
- Then let your bread machine do its thing! It will allow the bread to rise and then bake it into a delicious warm loaf.
For the Glaze
- Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix them thoroughly with a fork or whisk.
- Allowing the glaze to set while your bread finishes baking will thicken it a bit.
Finish it off!
- After your bread is done, allow it to cool some.
- Then pour your glaze overtop of the freshly baked bread and top with fresh strawberries!
Notes & Tips
Different bread makers may require slightly different steps. Reference your bread machine’s instructions and adjust this process accordingly.
