Quick 20-Minute Homemade Bread : Soft, Fluffy, and Ready in No Time!

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula or your hands (lightly dampen your hands if the dough is too sticky).
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes , or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
Don’t Overmix : Overworking the dough can lead to a denser texture. Mix just until the ingredients come together.
Use Fresh Baking Powder : Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise. If it’s been sitting in your pantry for months, test it by adding a small amount to water—if it fizzes, it’s still good!
Customize Your Bread : Add herbs, cheese, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon and raisins to the dough for a personalized twist.
Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the toaster or microwave for a fresh-baked taste.
