Description
A soft, fluffy, and golden loaf of homemade bread ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for any meal or on its own with a dab of butter.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups – Forms the structure of the bread
- Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon – Provides the leavening for a quick rise
- Salt: 1 teaspoon – Enhances all the other flavors
- Sugar: 1 tablespoon – Balances the savory and promotes browning
- Plain Greek Yogurt: 1 cup – Adds moisture, richness, and helps tenderize
- Milk: 1/2 cup – Helps form a cohesive dough and soft crumb
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons – Gives the bread a lovely texture and flavor
- Butter (for brushing): 1 tablespoon – Adds that irresistible golden finish
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or preheat a cast iron skillet.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, mix yogurt, milk, and olive oil. Pour wet into dry and gently fold until just combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease your baking sheet or skillet, or line with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer the dough onto the prepared surface. Shape it into a rustic round loaf. If desired, score the top with a sharp knife for visual flair.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Finishing Touches: Brush the top with melted butter for that glossy, irresistible crust.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy warm. Perfect with butter, jam, or savory dips.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best results.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the texture light.
- Customize with herbs, cheese, or spices to taste.
- Great as a last-minute side for dinner.
