My 98th experiment: Strawberry quick bread

I'm trying this out after finding strawberries. This turns out wonderful.

Recipe: Strawberry quick bread (2 small loaves)

Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen or fresh strawberries, thawed and crushed
- 1+1/2 cup KAF all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tp baking soda
- 1/4 tp baking powder
- 2 TB sugar
- 1/4+1/8 tp kosher salt
- 2.5 TB butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup skim milk
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Procedure:
1. Sieve flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt together.
2. Mix crushed strawberries, walnuts, eggs, melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir.
3. Adjust hydration of the mixture with up to 1/3 cup skim milk.
4. Pour batter into greased pans.
5. Bake at 350F about 30-40 minutes.

Observations:
1. It seems that having a moist batter is the way to make a good loaf of quick bread. In this experiment, the loaves are very nicely done after baking 30 minutes. Even though there is liquid bubbling on the cracks of a loaf, the thermometer comes out really clean, and the internal temperature of the loaves exceeds 190F.
2. This bread has a lot of holes. I think it's because the batter is cooked before the strawberries melt. When the berries finally melt down, its water is absorbed by the batter, thus creating the holes.
3. The sweetness of this bread is just right. With 2 TB sugar for 1+1/2 cup flour, the bread is not too sweet. The strawberries are distinctively noticeable, with just a few bites of walnuts.
