As this bread was baking, the house smelled heavenly. I couldn't wait to try the bread. The aroma did not disappoint. The bread was delicious. A moist creamy bread with strawberries and the sweet crunch of pecans with a hint of cinnamon. The recipe called for walnuts, but I did not have any so I used pecans instead.
A great bread to add to your baking list.
