Quick and Easy No-Yeast Bread
Description
This Quick and Easy No-Yeast Bread is perfect for when you need a fresh loaf of bread but don’t have the time to wait for yeast to rise. It’s made with simple ingredients and can be ready in under an hour. The result is a soft and slightly dense bread with a golden crust, perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just enjoying with a pat of butter.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- Optional add-ins: herbs, cheese, seeds, or dried fruits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the milk and vegetable oil (or melted butter) into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Add optional ingredients: If you’re using any optional add-ins like herbs, cheese, seeds, or dried fruits, gently fold them into the batter.
- Transfer to the loaf pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips
- For a savory twist, add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, or grated cheese to the batter.
- For a sweet version, add a handful of dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- You can also freeze the bread. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
