🛒 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup milk

• 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
   Lightly grease a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients
   In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3. Add wet ingredients
   Stir in milk and oil (or melted butter). Mix until a soft dough forms.
   Do not overmix — just until combined.

4. Shape the dough
   Transfer to a lightly floured surface. Gently shape into a round loaf (about 1–1½ inches thick).
   Place on prepared pan.
   Optional: Cut a shallow “X” on top for even baking.

5. Bake
   Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Cool slightly & enjoy!
   Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
