Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or olive oil)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and melted butter. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Tips
- For a savory version, reduce sugar to 1 tablespoon.
- Add shredded cheese, garlic powder, or herbs for extra flavor.
- This bread is best served warm with butter, jam, or honey.
