Method
 

How to Make Sourdough Strawberry Quick Bread
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In another bowl, whisk egg, sugars, sourdough discard, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Toss strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold into batter.
  5. Pour into loaf pan and bake 55 to 70 minutes. Cover loosely with foil halfway through if needed.
    Let cool in the pan for 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack.
Strawberry Simple Syrup Glaze
  1. Whisk everything together until smooth and drizzle ready.
  2. Add the strawberry syrup slowly, a 1/4 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the perfect consistency. It should drizzle but still hold its shape slightly on top of the loaf.
