Ingredients

2 eggs
2 c. milk
2/3 c. oil
2 c. sugar
4 c. flour
2 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
sugar for the top

Directions

Heat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.

In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, oil and sugar. Beat by hand or with a mixer until it is smooth and creamy.

Add flour, baking powder and salt.  Mix only until the dry ingredients are just combined.  Do not over mix because this will make the bread or muffins tough.

Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.  Spread the batter out so it is flat.

Sprinkle some sugar over the top of the loaves if desired.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes. Remove the bread and place on a cooling rack to finish cooling. 

Cut into slices when still slightly warm, or you can wait until it has cooled completely.

Notes

This recipe can make 6 miniature loaves. You will need to adjust the baking time to about 40 minutes. 

You can also make muffins.  Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full and bake for 12 minutes.
