Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Add 1 cup milk and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough gently for about 1 minute.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a greased baking sheet.
Score the top of the dough with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
