  1. Ingredients:

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour

    • 2 teaspoons baking powder

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

    • 1 ¼ cups warm water

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)

    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for texture)

  2. Instructions:

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

    • Add the warm water and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms. If using sesame seeds, add them to the dough.

    • Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a loaf.

    • Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased.

    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Description:
This quick and easy homemade bread recipe eliminates the need for yeast and hours of rising time. In just 5 minutes of prep time, you’ll have two soft, fresh loaves ready to bake, perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side to any meal.

Notes:

  • If you prefer a fluffier texture, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.

  • For a more savory loaf, you can add garlic powder, herbs, or cheese to the dough.

  • You can use melted butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.

Tips:

  • Make sure the water is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the baking powder.

  • For an extra crispy crust, brush the tops of the loaves with a little melted butter before baking.

  • To make the bread even more flavorful, add a tablespoon of honey or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.

Servings:
This recipe makes 2 loaves, serving approximately 8-10 people depending on portion sizes.
