Strawberry Jam Bread Recipe

Unlike most homemade jams, this strawberry jam requires no refined sugars or pectin! I love starting my morning with strawberry jam, but it can be hard to find a recipe or brand that is free from unhealthy additives. After reading countless nutrition labels at the store, I decided to make my own homemade jam that I could feel good about eating.

I wanted this jam to highlight the sweetness and flavors that strawberries naturally contain. I chose to utilize honey as a healthier sugar alternative. Not only does honey contain many vitamins, but it also has a lower glycemic index than white sugar. This means that it will be digested more slowly, which helps to prevent spikes in blood glucose levels. Most jam recipes require you to use pectin. Pectin is a settling agent used to thicken jams or jellies. This recipe calls for cornstarch, which also works as a thickening agent as the jam cools. Lastly, a tablespoon of lemon juice helps to brighten and enhance the jam’s strawberry flavor.

Many homemade jam recipes can often be time-consuming and will call for large amounts of ingredients, but this recipe only requires 2 and 1/3 cups of strawberries. This cooks down into one 8 oz jar of jam. If you want to make a larger quantity, feel free to double the recipe, although it may require more time on the stove.

Often I will ask my husband if he would rather have a cookie or fresh, hot out of the oven homemade bread. He usually acts a little offended that I would ask such a question. Nothing will ever beat a delectable cookie for him. For me, though, it’s hard to beat homemade bread.

My kids are suckers for homemade bread too. You can usually find me buttering and putting jam on bread before calling them to the dinner table. There are two kids who like just butter on their bread. One of them likes it warmed in the microwave for 10 seconds so the butter is nice and melty. The other butter lover likes it room temperature. Two other kids love strawberry jam on theirs. One strawberry lover wants to load on the jam, while the other just wants a little smear of it.

Then you have my fifth child who doesn’t really like bread very much. How dare he! He always wants it on his plate though with the combination of butter and jam. He NEVER eats it. I guess he just likes how it looks on his plate and wants to be like everyone else.

I look at photos of food often. Maybe too much for my own good. I’m beginning to think that each photo I look at is the equivalent of 500 calories digested. HA. So glad it’s not! One of my favorite things are beautifully twisted breads.

The Best Homemade Strawberry Jam Recipe

I knew I wanted to created a twisted, knotted bread. For some reason I knew I wanted it to be strawberry flavored. I kept having those strawberry crunch popsicles pop into my head. The flavor of those are so nostalgic, and I wanted to create a roll with that flavor profile. While these rolls aren’t necessarily what I envisioned, they are so delicious.

The strawberry crunch part is spread throughout the dough and then becomes slightly chewy creating this awesome texture. Originally I wanted to frost these and add more of the strawberry crunch on top of the frosting, but once I tasted one frosting free, I knew they were perfect how they were. I, however, will not judge if you decide to go that extra mile. The great thing about this recipe is that my strawberry jam loving kids are HUGE fans, and I don’t have to keep spreading jam on slices of bread for them.

The Giant Jam Sandwich: Easy Stovetop Strawberry Jam And Homemade Sandwich Bread

Here’s the video recipe, which explains every step in full detail. Too much detail, in fact. That’s why God invented the fast-forward button.

Whisk together some milk, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer. Let the mixture rest until it foams — 5-10 minutes.

Then turn the dough onto a non-floured work surface, and knead it by hand until smooth — about 1 minute. Don’t over-knead the dough — we are not making sandwich bread here.

Form the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, and then flip the dough to grease its other side. Cover and let the dough rise until doubled in volume — about 90 minutes.

Deflate the dough, turn it onto a non-floured work surface, and roll it — with a rolling pin — into a 12-inch by 16-inch rectangle.

And spread a thin layer of the jam over the dough. Don’t add too much jam, or you’ll have a mighty mess on your hands!

Here’s my jammy, strawberry-studded pastry. Cover the pan loosely, and let rise until the dough has doubled in volume — about 45 minutes. Also, preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake until the bread is fully puffed and golden on top — about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack for just 5 minutes. Also, find someone who looks at you the way I look at this Strawberry Jam Twist Bread.

Finally, tuck into this soft and sexy madness! The bread is especially wonderful when it is still warm from the oven. Leftover portions are awesome too, when heated for 30 seconds in the microwave oven. I know, because I microwaved and devoured three servings while writing up this recipe.

Strawberry Jam Recipe

I'm not even kidding, y'all, we have to make special arrangements when we go out to eat to make sure that Greyson eats a normal meal before bread is brought to our table.

For example, when we go out to breakfast, we sit down and order our drinks and two scrambled eggs for Greyson right away because otherwise he will see my breakfast (which is usually French Toast or biscuits and gravy) and only want that.

I've had a major craving for homemade bread lately with summer on the horizon. (It was officially in the 100's already this week in Phoenix — but don't worry it is back down in the 70's next week.

Recipe Spotlight: Strawberry Jam With Homemade Bread

Then I remembered a family recipe from Steven's aunt for strawberry jam quick bread. My kid loves these no sugar added strawberry muffins, so I knew he'd love this bread.

It's a collection of recipes from a society that his grandmother was a part of, so it has recipes from Steven's mom, dad, aunts, and grandparents.

I'm all about tried and true family recipes. I looked it up and remembered it has a good bit of sugar in it.

An average amount for an adult, but more than I'd like to give my toddler at this point.(He usually gets no-sugar-added treats like these blueberry muffins when I bake.)

Because I knew it would just be cruel to make bread that he couldn't eat! (Cruel to myself, since I'd have to deal with the upset toddler who couldn't have the bread.)

So I subbed the sugar for unsweetened applesauce and used this strawberry jelly from Smucker's that is sweetened with honey. Still a sweetener, but at least a natural one.

In fact, we tested the original and this applesauce sweetened version and we all really preferred this version. We didn't feel guilty having a slice of this version because it just felt lighter without the weight of the sugar.

This strawberry jam quick bread is hearty though, it feels like a mini brick in your
