If you’re short on time but craving fresh, homemade bread, this quick and easy bread recipe is perfect. With no yeast required, it’s ready in just 20 minutes and has a soft, slightly dense texture—ideal for serving with soups, stews, or as a snack with butter and jam.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk and olive oil (or melted butter). Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth. Shape it into a round or oval loaf.
- Bake: Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
Tips & Variations:
✅ Make it cheesy – Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese for extra flavor.
✅ Go herby – Mix in 1 tsp of dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano) for a savory twist.
✅ Sweet version – Increase sugar to 2 tbsp and add a dash of cinnamon for a sweeter bread.
✅ Dairy-free option – Use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk.
