This Bread in 20 Minutes recipe offers a quick, simple way to enjoy fresh, homemade bread without yeast or long rising times. Using basic pantry staples and easy steps, you’ll get soft, fluffy bread with a golden crust, perfect for beginners or busy days.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures the bread gets a nice rise and a golden crust quickly.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This even distribution is key for balanced flavor and texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix for a tender crumb.
  4. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round loaf about 6 inches wide. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet and score the top with a sharp knife to allow even rising.
  5. Bake and Enjoy: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool slightly before slicing to enjoy the perfect Bread in 20 Minutes.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Milk: This helps the ingredients blend smoothly and promotes even rising.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir the dough just until ingredients come together to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Sharp Knife for Scoring: Use a clean, sharp knife to score the loaf to avoid tearing the dough.
  • Watch Closely: Since baking times are short, keep an eye on the bread to prevent over-browning.
  • Let it Rest: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes after baking to set the texture before slicing.
