Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk (any type)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and melted butter.
Gently stir the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy but fully hydrated.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Gently remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
