Savory Garlic Milk Bread

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour (2 cups), baking powder (1 tablespoon), sugar (2 tablespoons), and salt (1 teaspoon). Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

2In a separate bowl, heat the milk (1 cup) until warm but not boiling. Add the melted butter (2 tablespoons) to the warm milk (1 cup) and stir until combined.

3Add the minced garlic (4 cloves) and chopped onion (1 medium) to the milk (1 cup) mixture, stirring to combine.

4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

6Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

7Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
