Description
A simple and delicious homemade bread recipe using Greek yogurt for a unique twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)
- Additional flour for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey (or sugar), and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the Greek yogurt and activated yeast mixture.
- Using your hands or a dough hook attachment, mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air. Transfer it to a floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
- Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan. Cover it loosely with a cloth and let it rise for an additional 30-40 minutes.
- While the loaf is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen again, place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The bread should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- This bread pairs well with soups and salads.
- Experiment with adding herbs or spices for additional flavor.
