Croatian Quick Milk Bread Without Yeast – Bread Easy Recipes

This Croatian quick milk bread skips the yeast, but not the comfort. It’s got that soft, slightly sweet flavor we crave when the bread basket’s calling our name. Made with simple ingredients you probably already have, this bread recipe comes together without any fuss. It’s perfect for those ‘oops-I-forgot-the-bread’ dinners or when you’re craving a slice of warm, homemade goodness in under an hour. We make it often for breakfast toast, spontaneous lunches, and honestly, even with butter and jam at midnight. Think of it as your reliable kitchen wingman—there when you need it, always tasty, and way easier to get along with than dough that needs babysitting and rising. Yes, I'm looking at you, yeast.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten (optional for brushing top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Pour in the milk and oil, then stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. No kneading necessary!
  4. Scoop the dough into the loaf pan and smooth out the top a little. If you’re using the egg, brush it gently over the surface.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let it cool a bit before slicing—if you can wait that long without sneaking a piece!
