Prepare Pan – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch nonstick metal loaf pan with baking spray. Set aside.
Coat Strawberries with Flour – In a small bowl, toss the cubed strawberries with all purpose flour. Toss gently to coat, then set them aside.
Sift Dry Ingredients – Use a whisk to sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl whisk together the granulated sugar, yogurt, butter, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts until fully combined.
Combine – Add the yogurt mixture to the sifted dry ingredients. Mix by hand until fully moistened.
Add Strawberries – To the bowl, add the flour coated strawberries. Gently fold to incorporate into the batter.
Transfer Batter to Pan – Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
Oven – Transfer to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. (Check at 30 minutes and lay foil on top to prevent overbrowning, if needed).
Cool – Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then remove from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled strawberry bread.
