Brown Sugar No Yeast Bread Recipe

Introduction

This Brown Sugar No Yeast Bread is a quick and delicious homemade bread perfect for those who want to skip the wait for yeast to rise. Sweetened with light brown sugar and tender with vegetable oil, it bakes up moist and flavorful in miniature loaf pans.

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 (175°C). Grease six miniature loaf pans to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
3. Step 3: In a larger bowl or a stand mixer, beat together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
4. Step 4: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, 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 to allow room for rising. If desired, sprinkle a little sugar or chopped nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.
6. Step 6: Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter before baking.
• If miniature loaf pans aren’t available, regular bread pans can be used; adjust baking time accordingly.
• Sprinkling raw sugar on top before baking adds a delightful crunch and sweetness to the crust.

Storage

Store the bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the loaves for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature and warm briefly in the oven or microwave before serving.

Notes

• For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of regular milk.
• Miniature loaf pans make convenient individual servings but you can use standard loaf pans; adjust baking time accordingly.
• Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread texture.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
