Steps

1. Preheat Oven

Rack
Sous Vide Mode: Off
Steam: 30%
Temp: 356°F
Heat: Rear

2. Grease and Line Pan

Lightly grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick oil spray and line with parchment paper. I like to use small alligator clips to hold the sides of the paper to the pan so they don't curl. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined. Make a well in the centre and pour in the wet mix. Stir until almost smooth; don't over mix.
