Base Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

Toppings (Optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your KNOB bakes evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 6

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 7

    Pour into Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 9

    Cool

    Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve with Toppings

    If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar and cinnamon or sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving.
