Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2.5 tablespoons (37.5 milliliters) baking powder
- 1.5 tablespoons (22.5 milliliters) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) salt
Liquid Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 2.25 cups (540 milliliters) milk (room temperature)
Optional Topping:
- Everything bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 425°F (218°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle for even heat distribution.
- Prepare a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan by lightly coating with cooking spray and carefully lining with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal.
- Gently sift the all-purpose flour through a fine-mesh strainer to eliminate potential clumps and ensure a smooth, uniform texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until thoroughly combined and well-integrated.
- Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegetable oil and room-temperature whole milk.
- Stir the wet and dry ingredients together using a wooden spoon or spatula until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Carefully transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- If desired, generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning across the dough’s surface, ensuring even distribution.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F (218°C) for 15 minutes, allowing the exterior to develop a golden crust.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), and gently cover the loaf with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
