Bread in 20 Minutes – The Perfect Recipe for Those in a Hurry
Ingredients
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
3/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of olive oil or melted butter
Directions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). No waiting on dough rising means we move fast get that heat going!
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This combo acts like your instant leavening team.
Step 3: Slowly add in the milk and olive oil (or butter if you’re going richer). Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough starts to come together. Don’t overmix!
Step 4: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes. It doesn’t need much just enough to smooth it out and form structure.
Step 5: Shape it into a rustic loaf or even press it into a circle for a flatbread-style bake. Place it on a greased baking sheet or parchment-lined tray.
Step 6: Bake for 15-20 minutes. The crust should be golden, and when you tap the bottom of the loaf, it should sound hollow.
Step 7: Let the bread rest for a few minutes before slicing. This step is hard I know. But trust me, it’s worth it for that perfect crumb.
