Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast with your host, Ben Harper! Today, we're diving into a delightful treat that’s as easy to make as it is delicious—Yogurt Bread. This recipe is a fantastic way to use up any leftover yogurt and transform it into a soft, scrumptious loaf that’s perfect for any time of day.

Let’s start with what you’ll need. Grab 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. These will form the backbone of your bread. For the wet ingredients, you’ll need 1/2 cup of plain yogurt—feel free to use full-fat or low-fat—1/4 cup of sugar, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup of milk to bring everything together. Finally, 2 tablespoons of melted butter will add that extra touch of richness and moisture.

Now, let’s get baking! First, preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, egg, and milk until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed—remember, overmixing can lead to a dense loaf.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yogurt bread is incredibly versatile. Slice it up for a quick breakfast, toast it for a crunchy snack, or serve it alongside your favorite soup or salad. It pairs wonderfully with jams, honey, or even your favorite spreads and dips.

Storing is simple: keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze it for longer storage. Just wrap it well in plastic wrap, then pop it into a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw it at room temperature or warm it in the oven.

And there you have it, folks—a simple, satisfying yogurt bread that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re a novice baker or a seasoned pro, this recipe is foolproof and fun. Give it a try and share your results with us! Until next time, keep sharing the joy of home cooking. Happy baking, everyone!
