Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a bit of oil or butter, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until well mixed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the milk and olive oil (or melted butter). Stir until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky, which is fine—don’t worry about overmixing!
4. Shape the Dough:
Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. You can use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
5. Bake the Bread:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The bread should be golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
7. Enjoy!
Serve your fresh, warm 5 Ingredients Bread with butter, jam, or any topping of your choice. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or as a side to soups and stews!
Tips for Success:
Add-ins: Feel free to customize this bread by adding herbs, cheese, or seeds (like sunflower or pumpkin) into the batter before baking for added flavor.
Storage: This bread is best eaten fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice it and freeze individual pieces for later use.
Texture: If you prefer a softer, more cake-like texture, you can add a tablespoon of sugar or honey to the batter for a touch of sweetness.
