Strawberry Jam Bread Loaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Jam Bread Loaf.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9x5-inch loaf pans to ensure your bread slides out easily once baked.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and baking soda, then set this dry mixture aside for later.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the sweet strawberry jam and creamy buttermilk, stirring until they blend beautifully—this will add a delightful fruity flavor to your bread.

4. Step 4

   Now, grab a large mixing bowl and cream together the sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and a splash of lemon juice using an electric mixer.

5. Step 5

   Beat this mixture until it’s light and fluffy, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

6. Step 6

   Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition to create a smooth batter.

7. Step 7

   Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and the strawberry jam mixture, alternating between the two.

8. Step 8

   Be gentle here; you want everything to come together without overmixing.

9. Step 9

   If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch and extra flavor.

10. Step 10

    Once your batter is ready, divide it evenly between the prepared loaf pans, making sure each one is filled just right.

11. Step 11

    Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your bread is perfectly done.

12. Step 12

    After baking, let the loaves cool in the pans for about 15 minutes—this is the hardest part, but it’s worth the wait! Finally, transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely, and get ready to enjoy a slice of homemade strawberry jam bread that’s sure to bring smiles all around.
