Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup canola oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan (9×5 inches) with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate, medium bowl mix together the oil, buttermilk, and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry. Gently fold together until the flour has been incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading into the corner. Bake for 45-50 minutes. The loaf should be golden on top, domed, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before removing. Slice to serve.
Notes
To store – wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
To freeze – loaf can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then wrapped in aluminum foil and frozen for up to 3 months.
