Quick & Easy Bread in 20 Minutes (No Yeast)

A simple, fast bread made with baking powder — no rising time needed.

Ingredients

• 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup (240 ml) warm water
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the warm water and olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes.
5. Shape into a loaf and place on a greased baking sheet.
6. Cut 3 slits on top of the dough.
7. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.

Tips

• Don’t over-knead — this is a quick bread, not a yeast dough.
• For a softer crust, brush the hot loaf with melted butter.
• Best eaten the same day. It doesn’t keep as long as yeast bread.
• You can add herbs, garlic, or cheese for extra flavor.

Simple and ready in about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
