Sweetest Hobby

Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe for yogurt bread, a deliciously light and soft option perfect for making your breakfast extra special.

This yogurt bread is more than just easy to make. It also has an incredibly soft texture and a slightly tangy yogurt flavor that pairs wonderfully with a variety of toppings. You can enjoy it plain, savor it with a layer of melted butter, or even spread your favorite jam on it for a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups (270g) of all-purpose flour (gluten-free option available)
• 1 tablespoon (14g) of sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons (9g) of salt (I used pink salt)
• ½ teaspoon of baking powder
• 2 teaspoons of instant dry yeast for bread
• ¾ cup (194g) of milk (plant-based milk can be used)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil or any vegetable oil
• ¾ cup (180g) of unsweetened and unflavored Greek yogurt
• Cracked corn for dusting the pan (optional)

Instructions:

1. Grease and flour a standard bread pan (approximately 9 x 5 x 3 inches) with olive oil and cornbread flour. You can also use all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix all dry ingredients and set aside.
3. Heat the liquid ingredients (yogurt, milk, and oil) slightly in the microwave or on the stove to room temperature, and then pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredient mixture (flour, salt, sugar, and yeast).
4. Mix everything together using a paddle attachment (as shown in the video) for 1 minute on high speed, or you can use a wooden spoon and mix for about 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Cover it with a dish towel and let it rest for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 22 to 27 minutes (mine reached the perfect internal temperature of 190°F at 22 minutes).
