Quick Ball Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet flavor)
• 1 large egg

Equipment:

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or spoon
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup sugar (if using). Whisk until well combined.

1. Combine Wet Ingredients:

• In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 large egg until smooth.

1. Combine Mixtures:

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

1. Shape the Dough:

• Using your hands, form small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

1. Serve:

• Let the ball bread cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite dip!

Tips for Success:

• Customization: You can add herbs, cheese, or garlic powder to the dough for added flavor.
• Storage: Leftover ball bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
