Who can agree that fresh bread from the oven is best? We’re huge fans of making no-knead bread or any kind of quick bread. This easy 2 ingredient bread recipe will change your life I swear! It’s similar to these biscuit recipes which use self-rising flour. But since this is a classic milk bread, you only need two ingredients to make it!

How do you make two-ingredient bread?
This is a twist on making milk bread, so all you need are self-rising flour and milk! That’s it! The flour already has leavening agents so you don’t need yeast which makes the process of making bread even easier without resting or rising time.
What is self-rising flour?
Self-rising flour is a variety of flour that has been pre-mixed with a leavening agent, typically baking powder, and salt.
As a result, when you use self-rising flour in a recipe, you don’t have to add any extra baking powder or salt.
This type of flour is widely utilized in recipes for baked goods like cakes, biscuits, and pancakes, where the added leavening agent helps to produce a fluffy and light texture.
What can you substitute for self-rising flour?
We looked to our favorite flour baking source King Arthur for the answer and all you’ll need is to substitute self-rising flour for all-purpose flour is to “omit the baking powder and salt, and add an extra tablespoon of self-rising flour.”
Two Ingredient Milk Bread – Ingredients:
- Milk (we used whole milk)
- Self-rising flour
You’ll also need a 8″ x 4″ loaf pan
What fillings to add to milk bread?
Milk bread is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for a variety of sweet and savory fillings. This type of milk bread is most similar to white sandwich bread. Here are some fun suggestions for fillings:
- Sweet fillings: Nutella, peanut butter, jam, honey, cream cheese, sliced fruits (such as strawberries, bananas, and peaches), chocolate chips, cinnamon sugar, and caramel.
- Savory fillings: Ham and cheese, bacon and egg, turkey and avocado, spinach and feta, tomato and basil, roasted vegetables, and pesto and mozzarella.
- Simple fillings: We love it best with a healthy smear of softened butter and a sprinkling of sea salt on top. You can also zest lemon rind and add some sugar on top of of the butter for a sweeter topping.
