Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Then add 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of melted butter to the eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheese into the batter, ensuring that it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the bread once it has cooled and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Cheese and Yogurt Quick Bread!
Tips
- Choose the Right Cheese: For a flavor boost, experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, or even feta. Each will give your bread a unique taste and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add Herbs or Spices: Consider adding a teaspoon of dried herbs like oregano or thyme, or a pinch of garlic powder to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary in temperature, so start checking your bread a few minutes before the 30-minute mark. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when it's done.
- Cool Properly: Let your bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its moisture and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze slices for longer storage.Enjoy your baking adventure with this Cheese and Yogurt Quick Bread, and savor every delicious bite!
