A simple, quick bread batter that bakes into a golden, crispy treat. Perfect for breakfast or snack, suitable for those craving warm, comforting baked goods.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add enough milk to flour to make a thin batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased pan.
- Bake at 450° Fahrenheit until brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter batter, you can use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you want to add flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla or a pinch of salt. Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your desired consistency; a thinner batter will yield a more delicate texture. This recipe can also be adapted by adding herbs or spices to complement dishes like Momma'S Baked Zucchini.
Serving Suggestions
Dodge-A-Bread is best served warm, ideally straight from the oven. It pairs nicely with soups or salads for a light meal. Consider serving it with a side of butter or a sweet topping like honey or jam. For a delightful dessert twist, enjoy it alongside Shortbread Toffee Squares for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, place slices in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through. Avoid reheating in a conventional oven, as it may dry out the bread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture will be denser. To maintain moisture, consider adding a bit more milk to the batter. This adjustment will help achieve a light and fluffy bread while still being nutritious.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter is too thick, gradually add more milk until you reach the desired thin consistency. Remember, a thinner batter will bake into a lighter bread. You can also try adding a bit of water if you want to avoid altering the flavor too much.
How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread is done when it turns a golden brown color on top, usually within 15 to 20 minutes at 450° Fahrenheit. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached, indicating it's fully baked.
