Well Bread: Strawberry and Cinnamon Bread Using A Breadmaker from Ben of Breadmaker Reviews

Are you still using your breadmaker to make regular old bread, like a jerk?

Well quit it, and use your breadmaker to bake up something sweet, starting with this Strawberry and Cinnamon Bread.

This is a guest post and recipe from Cake Gumshoe Ben, a passionate foodie with a penchant for cooking outdoors (especially in the Australian summertime) who has a unique day job: he reviews and puts together buying guides for kitchen appliances. Here's what is known in the biz as a "plug" for his website: 

At Breadmaker Reviews we aim to provide you with not only great, in-depth reviews on breadmakers, but valuable information that will help you know exactly what to look for and where to get it.

but most importantly, here's the recipe. You're welcome.

Strawberry & Cinnamon Bread using a Breadmaker

• 1 packet frozen, sweetened strawberries (About 300g), thawed
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Procedure

1. Drain the juice from the strawberries, setting aside about 1/2 of it.
2. In a large mixing bowl mix together the flour, sugar, eggs, oil, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. (You can use the kneading function on your breadmaker to do this part but ensure you do the next step by hand.)
3. Very lightly fold in the strawberries and the juice set aside earlier. Don't overdo this part as you want the strawberry flavour to streak through, rather than be dissolved in the bread.
4. Add the ingredients into your bread pan, place it into the breadmaker and select the quick bake cycle (medium crust texture if available).
5. Remove pan from breadmaker immediately after baking and allow to cool before removing bread.

I use a bread machine whenever I bake bread, too, and I love it. Thanks so much for providing the link on bread maker reviews, when my machine dies now I know which maker to buy!

Oh, wow. I've been wanting a simple dessert I can make in my bread machine, and I've got frozen strawberries in the freezer. I am making this tonight! Thank you for posting the recipe : )

This sounds awesome, but I dont have a bread machine! Can I follow the same recipe and bake in the oven??

Does this call for all purpose flour or bread flour?

My mouth is watering! Yum! It would be interesting to try this recipe with whole grain einkorn and sucanat sweetener, making a much more nutritious dessert.
