Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt – sea salt or kosher
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for about two minutes, scraping down sides if needed. Spray an 11×15 pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into the pan and spread dough to the edges.
- Bake at 450 for about 20 minutes, until just very lightly browned.
Notes
For each of the following variations, begin with fully-cooked bread:
- Cheesy Bread: Sprinkle top generously with mozzarella. Place in a 350-degree oven until cheese is fully melted.
- Cinnamon Bread Sticks: Spread 1/4 cup of melted butter over the top of the bread. Stir together 1/2 cup of sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top. Place in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
- Italian Herb Bread: Spread top with 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with dried Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, or until fragrant.
