Sandwich Bread WITHOUT Yeast! (Dead easy)

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour (, plain/all purpose (Note 1))
• 8 tsp baking powder ((Note 2))
• 3 tsp white sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp cooking / kosher salt ((REDUCE to 1 tsp if using table salt, Note 3))
• 2 1/4 cups milk (, warmed (any - Note 4))
• 1/4 cup oil (, any plain (vegetable, canola, sunflower, rapeseed, grapeseed, light olive oil))

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan).

2. 2

   Grease a 22 x 13 cm / 9 x 5" loaf pan, then line with parchment/baking paper with overhang (to lift out).

3. 3

   Mix dry: Place flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl, mix to combine.

4. 4

   Add wet: Make a well in the centre, pour in oil and milk. Mix until flour is fully incorporated - batter will be thick but stirrable.

5. 5

   Fill pan: Scrape into loaf pan, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean and smooth the surface.

6. 6

   Bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with foil.

7. 7

   Return to oven. Turn oven DOWN to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan), bake 20 minutes.

8. 8

   Remove from oven. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then use excess paper to lift out and transfer to cooling rack.

9. 9

   Cool completely before slicing - 45 minutes+. It IS more delicate than yeast breads (can't change science!) but slices far better than the usual "cake like" no yeast breads. Slices perfectly on Day 2 and beyond.

10. 10

    Use for sandwiches, toast, grilled cheese, french toast, bread and butter pudding - anything you use "real" sandwich bread for!
