Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Farina (cream of wheat)
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farina, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some small lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the farina bread as is or with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, or honey. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
