Directions:
Begin by setting your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by either greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure they are thoroughly mixed, creating a uniform base for your bread.
Pour the milk and vegetable oil into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix these together using a wooden spoon or spatula until the batter is combined, making sure not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly for about a minute, just enough to bring it to a smooth consistency.
Shape your dough into a round loaf or divide it into smaller, roll-sized portions according to your preference. Place your shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each piece if making rolls.
Use a pastry brush to apply the melted butter on top of the dough. This will help achieve a deliciously golden crust.
Place your bread in the oven to bake. Check for doneness after 15-20 minutes; look for a golden color and a hollow sound when tapping the bottom.
Once done, allow your bread to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm for the best experience!
Tips:
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.
- If your dough is too sticky during kneading, add a small amount of flour.
- Serve with butter or jam for a delightful treat.
