My 99th experiment: Strawberry blueberry bread

Both my strawberry bread and blueberry bread have been such a success that I am really tempted to make more of them.

Recipe: Strawberry blueberry bread (2 mini loaves)

Ingredients:
- 1.5 cup KAF all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tp baking soda
- 1TB+1tp sugar
- 1/4 tp kosher salt
- 2.5 TB butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup skim milk
- 2 cups strawberries (about 2/3 lb), chopped coarsely
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed

Procedure:
1. Sieve together flour, baking soda, sugar, salt in a medium bowl.
2. Beat egg, melted butter and milk in a small bowl.
3. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients.
4. Add berries. Stir and mix until batter is uniformly moist.
5. Pour batter into greased pans.
6. Bake at 350F in preheated oven for about 40 minutes.
7. Cool for 10 minutes. Detach from pan. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
