The loaf looks like it came from an artisan bakery, with a floury, crackly crust and deep scoring. Yet the thumbnail says it takes just 3 INGREDIENTS. That gap between how it looks and how little goes into it makes 'easiest' believable.
How the packaging works
Title
'EVER' in capitals pushes the claim as far as it goes, and 'You'll' puts the viewer in the kitchen making it.
Thumbnail
The count, 3 INGREDIENTS, is the proof behind 'easiest', and holding the loaf up close shows every crack and dusting of flour.
Remix this
When your method looks harder than it is, put a small count, such as ingredients, steps or tools, next to a close-up of a result that looks skilled. The gap between them does the persuading.
The transferable lesson
A small count beside a skilled-looking result.
