Ingredients You’ll Need

Makes 1 small loaf

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or make your own by adding 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt to all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
  • Optional : 1–2 tbsp milk, for moisture if needed

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, and sugar.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to help it come together.

Step 3: Shape the Loaf

  1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a loaf. Don’t overwork the dough—it’s okay if it’s a little rough around the edges.
  2. Place the shaped dough into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes , or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
