Greek Yogurt Bread

This Greek Yogurt Bread recipe offers a moist, tender loaf with a subtle tang and a lightly crisp crust. Using simple pantry staples like Greek yogurt, flour, and baking soda, it’s a quick and easy bread perfect for sandwiches, toast, or dipping. Versatile and yeast-free, it suits all skill levels and can be customized with herbs, cheese, or whole wheat flour for varied flavors and textures.

  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 8 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and prepare the pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar if using to ensure even distribution for proper rising.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and eggs (if using) until smooth. Stir in the olive oil or melted butter for added moisture and richness.
  4. Bring wet and dry together: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender; the batter should be slightly shaggy and moist.
  5. Transfer to pan and bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the crust is golden and fragrant.
  6. Cool before slicing: Let the bread cool fully in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents gumminess and maintains ideal texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for optimal moisture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Ensure your baking soda is fresh to achieve proper rise.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better texture.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
