## Ingredients

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1.25 cups milk (or water)
- 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter

## Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or small baking dish.
2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
3. Pour in milk and oil (or melted butter) and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix — this keeps the bread tender.
4. Transfer dough to the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake 18–22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.

## Equipment

- large bowl
- loaf pan or small baking dish
- whisk

## Tips

- For extra softness, use whole milk instead of water.
- Brush the top with melted butter right after baking for a bakery-style finish.
- Add herbs, shredded cheese, or garlic powder for a savory twist.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last few minutes.
