Prepared and baked in under 30 minutes, my recipe for Quick Mayonnaise Bread is super easy to make.
This is really one of my favourite quick bread bakes. Besides it being budget-friendly, it is so easy to put together after a busy day. All the ingredients are simply mixed together in one bowl, scooped into your preferred baking pan, and baked.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (240g) self rising flour (self-raising flour) (See note 1)
  • 4 Tablespoons (60g) mayonnaise (See note 2)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  • Grease and line a 8.5 x 4.5 inch (21 x 11cm) loaf pan with parchment paper. Ensure it hangs over the sides of the tin for easy removal after baking. (see note 4)
  • Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 356° F / 180° C (160° C fan).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the self rising flour (self raising flour) and salt.
  • Then stir in the milk and mayonnaise. Mix until just combined. Once mixed the mixture resembles a thick batter like consistency.
  • Do not overmix - you are just need to mix until there are no visible streaks of flour in the mixture. (See note 3)
  • Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan
    (Optional)- Sprinkle with any topping or leave as is.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer or toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean with no unbaked mixture sticking to it.
  • Remove from the oven, but leave the bread in the baking pan for 10 minutes. then transfer to a cooling rack and cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing

Recipe Notes
1.If you do not have self-raising flour, then make your own by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour (plain flour) . Whisk the baking powder well into the all-purpose flour (plain flour) to ensure that it is properly incorporated.
 
2. Using an egg-free mayonnaise in this recipe will work just as well as using mayonnaise containing egg. So use what you have and you will still end up with bakery-style deliciousness.
 
3. Avoid over mixing the batter. Mix until just combined. Overmixing is going to result in a dense, heavy textured bread
 
4. Keep in mind that baking times will vary slightly according to the pan you decide to use. Here is an approximate guide for the baking time when using the pans you prefer.
  • Muffin pan - 10 to 15 minutes
  • I used an 8.5 x 4.5 inch (21 x 11 cm) loaf pan for this recipe.
  • If you choose to use a larger pan, like a 9 x 5 inch (23 x 13 cm) pan, your loaf may come out a bit shorter and bake faster. Be sure to keep an eye on it and start checking for doneness a few minutes earlier than the recipe suggests.
