Step-by-Step Process (Air Fryer Method) 👩🍳
Step 1: Prep
Preheat your air fryer at 160°C for 3 minutes.
Grease a 5–6 inch loaf pan or round cake tin.
Step 2: Wet ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
Sugar, milk, oil, curd, and vanilla
Mix until smooth and lump-free.
Step 3: Dry ingredients
In another bowl, mix:
Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Combine
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
Mix gently — do not overmix.
Step 5: Add strawberries
Toss diced strawberries with 1 tbsp flour.
Fold them gently into the batter.
Step 6: Bake
Pour batter into the pan.
- Air fry at 160°C for 25 minutes
- Then reduce to 150°C for 10–15 minutes
Check with a toothpick — it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
Step 7: Cool & glaze
Cool the bread completely.
Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle on top.
Helpful Tips for Perfect Results 📌
- Always use thick curd, not watery yogurt
- Tossing strawberries in flour prevents them from sinking
- If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil after 20 minutes
- Let the bread cool fully before slicing for clean cuts
Substitutions & Variations 🔄
- No strawberries? Use blueberries or chopped apples
- Healthier option: Replace half maida with whole wheat flour
- No glaze: Dust with powdered sugar instead
Storage Instructions 🫙
- Room temperature: 1 day (covered)
