Strawberry Vanilla Crunch Sourdough Bread
Meet Charlotte—named after both the classic strawberry-filled Charlotte cake and a family name on my husband’s side. This bread is filled with a delicious blend of freeze-dried strawberries, white chocolate, and a vanilla crunch. The gorgeous pink color comes from sweet potato powder added to the water when making the dough. It's perfect lightly toasted and topped with cream cheese. FYI .. I always name my sourdough loaves!
