20-Minute Fluffy Bread Recipe – Quick and Easy

Kids in the Kitchen – A Lesson in Patience
One weekend, my niece wanted to “help” make bread. Translation: flour on the floor, dough on her nose, and chaos in every direction. But she loved the process especially shaping the loaf. I realized this recipe is fantastic for little hands. No long waiting, no sticky rising dough, and quick enough to hold a child’s attention. Now, I keep it in my “family-friendly” recipe folder. Just set up a few bowls of toppings grated cheese, chopped herbs, sesame seeds and let kids go wild decorating their own mini loaves.

Flavor Boosters I Wish I Tried Sooner
Early on, I thought adding herbs or cheese might overwhelm the bread. Turns out, it does the opposite. Fresh rosemary or a sprinkle of thyme turns a simple loaf into a gourmet side. A dash of garlic powder or even smoked paprika? Game-changer. Once, I even added finely chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar for a Tex-Mex twist my guests thought it came from a high-end bakery. Never underestimate the power of a well-placed seasoning. Keep experimenting. You’ll be surprised what a tablespoon of flavor can do.
