Fresh Strawberry Bread

 I just found good strawberry farm in my neighbourhood and the strawberry from there is very delicious.

 It make me want to make many things with fresh strawberry. Small in size but the taste is the best, sweet with enough tangy to make it interesting.
So if you see many recipe with fresh strawberry in my blog don't be surprised as it the only time of the year that I can get good quality ^^.
This time, it's a simple bread with fresh strawberry filling. Don't substitute frozen one in this recipe as the frozen will give too much water. You need to freeze the strawberry for make it easy to work with. The icing glaze is optional, you can use it or not but it makes the bread lovely and give more sweetness.
Note: you can use more sugar for the filling if your strawberry is not sweet.
