Estimated Calories: 71
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1¼ cups whole milk
Special Equipment
- 8x4-inch loaf pan (I use a metal pan)
- parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.If you don't have parchment paper, you can spray the pan with cooking spray instead (bottom and sides).
- Place the self-rising flour and milk in a large bowl; mix just until combined and there is no dry flour or large lumps.The mixture will have a consistency very similar to a thick pancake batter. It is okay if there are some small lumps; you want to be careful not to over-mix the batter, as this can cause your bread to be tough.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan (place the pan on a wire cooling rack). If you slice the bread while it is still warm, it is likely to crumble.
- Slice and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- The crust will soften as the bread cools.
- To make your own self-rising flour for this recipe instead of using store-bought, whisk together until well-combined: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder (I recommend sifting it so there are no clumps), and 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon regular table salt.
- If not using immediately, store your cooled bread at room temperature in a sealed plastic bag or wrapped in plastic wrap for 1 to 2 days for the best results. Freeze for longer-term storage.
