Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
3. Toss diced strawberries with 1 tbsp flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.

Step 2: Make the Batter

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
4. Mix in vanilla and Greek yogurt (or buttermilk) until smooth.
5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix!
6. Gently fold in the floured strawberries and any add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.

Step 3: Bake the Bread

1. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
2. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Glaze (Optional but Delicious!)

1. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Drizzle over the cooled bread and let it set before slicing.
