Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Optional Ingredients

  • herbs, garlic, or shredded cheese For extra flavor

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir the mixture together until well blended.
  • Pour in the milk and vegetable oil. Stir until a dough forms.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and gently knead the dough for about 1 minute.
  • Shape the kneaded dough into a round loaf and place it on the greased baking sheet.
  • Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife, if desired.

Baking

  • Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow when tapped.

Serving

  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

Beware of over-kneading the dough. You can customize the flavor with various herbs or cheeses. Ensure oven accuracy by using an oven thermometer.
