    Carefully just fold in the mashed strawberries; and nuts, if using. Dough will be thick. Save a few mashed berries to swirl in the batter on top. Pour into prepared pan and smooth evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Let bread rest in pan for 5 minutes. Then remove let cool completely; wrap and best served the nest day for full intense flavor...I can never wait though-LOL.... but is better the next day.
