Description
A fast and easy recipe for a crusty savory bread that can be made in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (substitute half whole wheat for nuttier flavor)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Optional add-ins: chopped fresh herbs, ½–1 cup grated cheese, ¼–½ teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry seasonings if using.
- Pour in the milk, olive oil, and honey. Stir until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round about 1 inch thick. Fold in any herbs or cheese gently.
- Place the round on the baking sheet and score the top if desired.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Cool briefly on a rack, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For a crispier crust, brush with oil before baking. Measure flour correctly to ensure the right texture.
