Description
A delightful, fluffy bread enriched with a unique starter that brings warmth and tradition to your kitchen.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Starter: In a large bowl, combine your starter ingredients (flour, sugar, milk, and a bit of yeast). Stir this till it’s well mixed, then cover it with a cloth and let it sit in a warm spot for about 24 hours.
- Mix the Batter: After the initial fermentation, mix 1 cup of the starter with the rest of your ingredients in a large bowl. Carefully fold in flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and oil.
- Add Flavors: Fold in your favorite add-ins, like chocolate chips, walnuts, or dried cranberries.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two loaf pans and pour the batter evenly into them. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the loaves from the oven and cool them in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
