## **Ingredients for 10-Minute Bread**
One of the best parts of this 10-minute bread recipe is how simple the ingredients are. You don’t need fancy equipment or rare ingredients; most of these can be found in your pantry right now. Here’s what you’ll need:
### **1. Flour**
– The base of the bread is, of course, **flour**. You can use all-purpose flour for a soft, white loaf or whole wheat flour for a heartier, more rustic bread. For the best results, make sure to measure the flour accurately.
### **2. Baking Powder**
– **Baking powder** is the leavening agent that makes the bread rise quickly without the need for yeast. It’s crucial to use the correct amount to ensure the bread has the right texture.
### **3. Salt**
– A pinch of **salt** helps to enhance the flavor of the bread and balances out the other ingredients. You can also use sea salt for added flavor.
### **4. Sugar (Optional)**
– A small amount of **sugar** is optional, but it can help to slightly sweeten the bread. If you prefer savory bread, feel free to skip this ingredient.
### **5. Milk (or Buttermilk)**
– **Milk** is the liquid component of the recipe. You can use regular milk, almond milk, or any other plant-based milk. **Buttermilk** is another great option if you want a slightly tangy flavor that enhances the bread’s texture.
### **6. Butter (Optional)**
– A tablespoon of **melted butter** adds richness to the bread. While optional, butter can make the bread more tender and flavorful.
### **7. Water**
– **Water** is often used alongside milk to bring the dough together and achieve the right consistency. Depending on the type of flour and other ingredients, you may need more or less water to form a smooth dough.

## **Steps to Make 10-Minute Bread**
Now that we have the ingredients ready, it’s time to dive into the steps. This bread recipe is incredibly simple, and with just a few basic steps, you’ll have fresh bread in no time.
### **Step 1: Preheat the Oven**
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Since this bread recipe doesn’t need time to rise, the oven will be ready to go once the dough is mixed. Make sure the oven rack is positioned in the middle so the bread can bake evenly.
### **Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the **flour**, **baking powder**, **salt**, and **sugar** (if you’re using it). Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed. This helps ensure the baking powder is well mixed and will rise evenly throughout the dough.
### **Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients**
Next, add the **milk** and **water** to the dry ingredients. You can also add the **melted butter** at this point. Mix everything together until the dough comes together in a sticky ball. You may need to add a bit more water if the dough feels too dry or crumbly.
### **Step 4: Form the Dough**
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and give it a few gentle folds to bring everything together. You don’t need to knead the dough—just work it until it’s a smooth ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as it can make the bread dense.
### **Step 5: Shape and Bake**
Shape the dough into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls. If you’re making a loaf, place the dough into a greased loaf pan. For rolls, simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also score the top of the loaf or rolls with a knife to create a decorative pattern and help the bread rise more evenly.
Place the bread into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If you’re making smaller rolls, they may bake a bit faster, so keep an eye on them.
### **Step 6: Cool and Enjoy**
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the bread set and prevents it from being too crumbly. Slice, serve, and enjoy your freshly baked bread in just 10 minutes!
