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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and melted butter.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.

Step 8

Gently remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
