Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar
Fat Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and delicately coat a standard loaf pan with a thin layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Gather dry components in a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blending flour, granulated sweetener, leavening agent, and mineral seasoning using a whisk until uniformly distributed.
- Create a separate mixture of liquid elements, gently whisking dairy, liquefied butter, and beaten egg until smoothly integrated.
- Cascade liquid mixture into the powdery foundation, stirring with gentle, minimal movements to prevent dense texture – stop mixing once ingredients are just incorporated.
- Transfer batter into prepared pan, ensuring even distribution and smooth surface.
- Position pan in preheated oven, allowing bread to transform for approximately 40-45 minutes until center tests clean when pierced with a slender probe.
- After removing from oven, let bread rest within pan for 10 minutes to stabilize structural integrity.
- Carefully extract bread from pan and position on wire cooling platform, permitting complete temperature reduction before slicing into delectable portions.
Notes
- Swap flour for gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits to customize the bread’s flavor profile and texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother mixing and more consistent baking results.
- Check doneness early by testing with a toothpick and watching the bread’s color to prevent overbaking.
