Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 1 small loaf
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free blend, if preferred)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best for richness)
- Optional Mix-Ins :
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme)
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Parmesan, or feta work well)
- 1/4 cup seeds (sesame, poppy, or everything bagel seasoning)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Lightly grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a spatula or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to bring it together.
Step 3: Knead and Shape
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes , just until smooth. Avoid overworking the dough.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan.
