- 1 tablespoon baking powder The secret to a light, fluffy bread.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the natural flavors of the other ingredients.

- 3/4 cup milk For moisture and richness.
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter Adds a delightful richness and flavor to the bread.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
- Pour in the milk and olive oil (or melted butter), and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Baking
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serving
- Once baked, let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy it warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
Notes
Check freshness of baking powder, use room temperature ingredients, mix gently to avoid tough bread. Optional: Add herbs or cheese for extra flavor.
