Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Fresh Strawberry Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

   In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, softened cream cheese, and softened butter.
