Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter (or olive oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour in the milk and melted butter (or olive oil), and stir until a smooth dough forms. Don’t overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a well-greased baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or use it for sandwiches.
Notes
For added flavor: Try mixing in some cheese, herbs like rosemary, or even cinnamon and sugar.
For a crispier crust: Place the dough on a preheated baking sheet before baking.
Storage: Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also freeze slices for later use.
