Sandwich Bread Without Yeast! (dead Easy)

4 cups flour (, plain/all purpose (Note 1))

8 tsp baking powder ((Note 2))

3 tsp white sugar

1 ½ tsp cooking / kosher salt ((REDUCE to 1 tsp if using table salt, Note 3))

2 ¼ cups milk (, warmed (any - Note 4))

¼ cup oil (, any plain (vegetable, canola, sunflower, rapeseed, grapeseed, light olive oil))

Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan).
Grease a 22 x 13 cm / 9 x 5" loaf pan, then line with parchment/baking paper with overhang (to lift out).
Mix dry: Place flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl, mix to combine.
Add wet: Make a well in the centre, pour in oil and milk. Mix until flour is fully incorporated - batter will be thick but stirrable.
Fill pan: Scrape into loaf pan, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean and smooth the surface.
Bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with foil.
Return to oven. Turn oven DOWN to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan), bake 20 minutes.
Remove from oven. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then use excess paper to lift out and transfer to cooling rack.
Cool completely before slicing - 45 minutes+. It IS more delicate than yeast breads (can't change science!) but slices far better than the usual "cake like" no yeast breads. Slices perfectly on Day 2 and beyond.
Use for sandwiches, toast, grilled cheese, french toast, bread and butter pudding - anything you use "real" sandwich bread for!
