directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Stir in half the strawberries. Stir in half the flour. Add the second half of the strawberries, then the second half of the flour.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold them into the batter.
- Coat a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, then line it with wax paper and spray it again.
- Turn the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from the loaf pan and continue to cool on the rack. Wait another 10 minutes or so before removing the wax paper.
