Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 vanilla bean (optional, for garnish or flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.
If using a vanilla bean, slice it lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and fold the seeds gently into the batter for extra flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, with butter, or with your favorite spread. Enjoy!
