1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Optional: herbs, cheese, or garlic for flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  • Add milk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a dough.

  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute until smooth.

  • Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Optionally, score the top with a knife for decoration.

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  • Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter bread, increase sugar to 2 tablespoons and add cinnamon.

  • Ensure bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped to know it's done.
