Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the milk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Transfer the dough to a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or form into a rough loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
Don’t overmix — stir until ingredients are just combined to keep the bread soft.
-
For a crispier crust, bake as a freeform loaf on a parchment-lined sheet.
-
Room-temperature milk helps the baking powder activate fully.
-
Add herbs, cheese, or spices to customize the flavor.
-
Bread is best served warm but can be toasted the next day for added crunch.
