🥖 20-Minute Homemade Bread (No Yeast, Quick Bread)
📝 Ingredients:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tbsp sugar (optional, for flavor)
-
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
-
Optional: herbs, shredded cheese, garlic powder for flavor
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven
-
Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
-
Lightly grease or line a baking sheet or an 8×8 pan (if making as one loaf).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
-
Stir in milk and oil until just combined. Don’t overmix — dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
4. Shape and Bake
-
For biscuits: Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto a baking sheet (makes ~6–8).
-
For a loaf: Pour into greased 8×8 pan or form a rustic round on a sheet pan.
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
🔄 Variations:
-
Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 1 tsp garlic powder for garlic-cheddar bread.
-
Mix in chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme, or chives).
-
Use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangy flavor and tender crumb.
🍽️ Best Served With:

Soups and stews
