Yogurt Bread Recipe

The yogurt bread is a delicious recipe and very easy to make. Its mild flavor and smooth texture make it an all-time favorite, whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack. Plus, the yogurt adds extra richness and moisture to the bread, making it even more irresistible. Let's learn how to prepare this wonderful yogurt bread recipe.

Ingredients:

• 500g wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 sachet of dry yeast
• 240ml of natural yogurt
• 120ml of warm water
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Preparation Method:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the yeast with the warm water and let sit for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is active and foaming.

Add the yogurt and olive oil to the yeast mixture, stirring well to combine. Then add the yogurt mixture to the bowl of flour, mixing with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to form.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is just right.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, punch the dough to remove the air and knead again for a few minutes. Then shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased mold.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and Variations:

This yogurt bread recipe is quite versatile and you can add other ingredients to customize it to your liking. For example, you can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for extra flavor. Or you can add seeds, like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, for extra texture. You can also replace part of the wheat flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier bread.

Also, if you prefer a sweeter bread, you can add a little more sugar to the dough. Or, for a tastier bread, you can add grated cheese or chopped olives to the dough.

I hope you enjoy this yogurt bread recipe as much as we do. It's a wonderful recipe to have in your baking repertoire and I'm sure you'll make it many times. Bon appetit!
