Homemade 20-Minute Bread 🍞✨
Fresh, soft, and warm bread in just 20 minutes? Yes, please! This simple, quick homemade bread is perfect for when you need a delicious loaf in a hurry.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) baking powder
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) sugar
- ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter, melted
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk or warm water
- Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil (for brushing on top), sesame seeds for sprinkling
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until the dry ingredients are light and even.
- Add wet ingredients:
- Slowly pour in the warm milk (or water). As it touches the flour, the dough will begin to soften and come together, forming a smooth and pliable ball.
- Add the melted butter and work it into the dough, making it tender and easy to handle.
- Shape the dough:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently press it with your fingertips to shape it into a round disk or a small loaf, whichever you prefer.
- Brush the top with a little olive oil for extra color and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a lovely, warm finish.
- Bake the bread:
- Place the shaped dough onto a hot pan, skillet, or baking tray. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 20 minutes.
- Within minutes, your kitchen will be filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread. The crust will turn golden, and the inside will stay soft and fluffy.
- Serve:
- Once baked, let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy it warm with butter or as a side to any meal.
This Homemade 20-Minute Bread is the easiest and quickest way to enjoy fresh bread. Perfectly soft, fluffy, and golden on the outside—it’s an instant hit! 😋🍞 Enjoy!
