A practical and delicious option for busy days, this homemade bread is the ultimate solution for those seeking simplicity in the kitchen.
Ingredients for Quick Baking Powder Bread:
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 7 oz (approx. 200g) heavy cream or table cream
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (approx. 350g)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
How to Make Quick Baking Powder Bread:
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, salt, milk, cream, and oil together for about 2 minutes until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until you reach a smooth, consistent batter.
- Add the baking powder to the batter and fold gently until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40 minutes. For an irresistible golden crust, increase the oven temperature to 480°F (250°C) for the final 10 minutes of baking.
Pro Tip:
To get that perfect bakery-style finish, try this kitchen hack: bake the bread at 350°F for most of the time, then crank the heat up to 480°F for the last 10 minutes—or use your oven’s broiler—to ensure a gorgeous, golden-brown top.
Prep Time & Servings:
This Quick Baking Powder Bread is ready in just 40 minutes. This recipe fits a standard 4.5 x 8.5-inch loaf pan.
Why You’ll Love It:
This surprising bread is ideal for those times when you are short on time but still want a treat. Its soft texture and neutral flavor make it versatile enough to pair with both sweet toppings and savory meals. Because there is no kneading or rising time required, it is a foolproof choice for busy home cooks.
Once you take the bread out of the oven, we suggest brushing a little butter or margarine on the crust while it’s still warm; it adds a nice shine and helps the bread slide out of the pan easily.
