- Juice of half a lemon (about 2 Tablespoons)
- Zest of one lemon
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for glaze)
- Juice of half a lemon (about 2 Tablespoons) (for glaze)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together ¼ cup sugar, the juice of half a lemon, and 2 tablespoons warm water until the sugar dissolves.
- Brush or pour the glaze over the warm bread so it soaks in.
