Homemade 20-Minute Bread

 

This homemade bread is not only quick to make but also incredibly versatile! Tasty and perfect bread.

NEED

2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 cup milk

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1 tablespoon dried herbs (optional)

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

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

  Make a well in the center and pour in the milk and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms.

  If using dried herbs, fold them into the dough at this time.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute until smooth.

Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Lined with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, make a shallow cross on top of the loaf to help it bake evenly.

 Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
