Preheating

Pan prep (for cast iron)

Oil well so nothing sticks:
- Oil: about 1 tablespoon, rubbed on sides and bottom

Preheat oven to 350°F
- Stated as the longest step.
Make self-rising flour (only if needed):
- In a bowl, stir together:
  - 2 cups all-purpose flour
  - 1 tablespoon baking powder (or 3 tsp)
  - 1/2 tsp salt
Combine ingredients:
- Add 1 1/4 cups milk to 2 cups self-rising flour.
- Mix until just combined.
- Important technique cue: don’t overmix— it can make the bread tough.
Fill pan:
- Pour the thick batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake:
- Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes.
- Bake until browned as you want it (it won’t brown as much as yeast bread).
Finish / serve:
- Turn the loaf out while it’s hot.
- Expect a smaller loaf, more like biscuit bread than a highly risen yeast loaf.

Mix only until combined: overmixing can make the bread tough.
Expect low rise: don’t expect a “highly risen yeast bread” look; it’s meant to be smaller and biscuit-like.
Whole milk is best for texture and flavor, but lower-fat milk or alternatives work.

Good as a side for dinner
Works with egg salad
Breakfast option: jam and butter
