Description
A quick, savory, no-yeast bread packed with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and aromatic herbs. Perfect alongside soup, pasta, or as a standalone snack.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups milk (or unsweetened dairy-free milk)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, oregano, basil, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and egg until smooth and combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Replace the egg and dairy with flax egg, dairy-free milk, and vegan cheese for a vegan option.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or sautéed onions for extra flavor.
Store at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for 5 days, or freeze individual slices.
