Brown Sugar No Yeast Bread Recipe

Introduction

This Brown Sugar No Yeast Bread is a quick and delicious alternative to traditional yeast bread. With a sweet, tender crumb and simple ingredients, it’s perfect for those who want homemade bread without the wait.

Ingredients

• 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• ⅔ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease 6 miniature loaf pans to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
4. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling each about an inch below the rim. Optionally, sprinkle sugar or chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips & Variations

• Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a richer flavor and softer texture.
• Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm, spiced twist.
• Try mixing in dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for a fruity variation.
• Miniature loaf pans make perfect individual servings, but you can also bake this in a standard loaf pan—just increase baking time accordingly.

Storage

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm briefly in the oven or toaster oven to restore freshness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for part or all of the all-purpose flour, but the bread may be denser and have a nuttier flavor. Consider starting with half whole wheat and half all-purpose for best results.

Why doesn’t this bread require yeast?

This recipe uses baking powder as a leavening agent instead of yeast. Baking powder acts quickly, so the bread rises during baking without the need for fermentation or long rising times.

Instructions

Notes

• Miniature loaf pans work well for this recipe, but you can also use a standard loaf pan; adjust baking time accordingly.
• For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter or as a topping.
• This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• To make it dairy-free, substitute milk with a plant-based milk alternative like almond or soy milk.
