Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- ¾ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Pour in the milk, water, and oil (or melted butter). Stir until a soft dough forms — do not overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.
- Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, brush the top of the dough with a little melted butter before baking.
- Add-ins like shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or garlic powder can be mixed into the dough for extra flavor.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
