Instructions:

1. Preparing the Dandelion Petals:

 Start by harvesting dandelion petals from your garden or another pesticide-free area. Make sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pat the petals dry with a clean kitchen towel and set them aside.

2. Mixing the Dry Ingredients:

 In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir the dry ingredients together until well combined.

3. Adding the Wet Ingredients: 

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

4. Incorporating the Dandelion Petals:

 Gently fold the washed and dried dandelion petals into the batter until evenly distributed. The vibrant yellow petals will add both color and flavor to the bread, so don't be afraid to be generous with them!

5. Baking the Bread:

 Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the dandelion bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
