Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg until smooth. Slowly whisk in the melted unsalted butter to the wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the bread dense.
Transfer the dough-like batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy the bread warm, with butter or your favorite spread, or use it as a base for hearty sandwiches or snacks.
