Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup butter margarine or butter flavored shortening - room temperature
1 1/4 cups whole milk 2% will work too

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients together EXCEPT for the milk.
Pour in the milk in about 1/3 cup at at time and stir with a wooden spoon. Repeat until all of the milk is incorporated.
Turn dough out to countertop, lightly dusted with flour.
Gently knead the dough until everything is combined but try not to knead the dough more than 10 times to prevent a tough loaf of bread.
To knead dough: fold it in half, gently press the dough away from you with the heel of your hand and then turn the dough. Repeat.
Form into a round ball and flatten dough until it is about 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick.
Place dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Score a 1/2" deep cross on the top of the bread with a sharp knife, this will help the bread bake through.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until pale brown in color. If you turn the bread over and tap on it, it should sound hollow.
For best results allow bread to cool on a wire rack before cutting, at least 30 minutes.

Notes

If milk is not available to you, feel free to use powdered milk instead. Follow the directions on the container of your powdered milk on what ratio of water to powder is. You can even use water in a pinch.

Homemade No-Yeast Bread will stay fresh for 4-5 days at room temperature. It’s still safe to eat after that time, but it will most likely be stale by then. To store the bread after slicing, place it in a paper bag. Be sure to remove as much air as possible before tightly closing up the bag.You can also freeze this bread for later use. I recommend slicing it before freezing. You can freeze for up to 6 months.
