Instructions for Yogurt Bread
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups (480 grams) of flour, 10 grams of baking powder, and 8 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Add the Wet Ingredients:
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1 cup (220 grams) of yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil, and 3 ½ teaspoons (50 ml) of avocado oil.
Mix the Dough:
Gradually pour in 250 ml of lukewarm water while mixing with a spoon or your hands.
Continue mixing until a sticky dough forms and all the ingredients are well combined.
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
Let the Dough Rise:
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Shape the Dough:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air.
Shape it into a round or rectangular loaf, depending on your preference, and place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
Second Rise:
Cover the shaped dough with a towel and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes until it has puffed up slightly.
Preheat the Oven:
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the Bread:
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool the Bread:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
To make the perfect yogurt bread, start by measuring your ingredients accurately to ensure the right texture.
Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for a subtle tang and balance the moisture by adding water gradually while mixing the dough.
Kneading is essential for developing the gluten structure, so take your time to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Letting the dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment will help it double in size more efficiently.
During the second rise, ensure the dough is well-covered to retain moisture and prevent drying.
For a golden, crispy crust, you can lightly brush the top with a bit of oil or water before baking.
Lastly, allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing, as cutting it too early can make the interior gummy.
With these tips, your bread will turn out soft, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
To store your homemade yogurt bread, allow it to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
For short-term storage, wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it at room temperature for up to 2 days.
If you need to store it longer, place the wrapped bread in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate it for up to a week.
For even longer storage, you can freeze the bread by slicing it first, wrapping each slice individually, and placing them in a freezer-safe bag.
Frozen bread can be stored for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy it, thaw slices at room temperature or warm them in the oven or toaster for a fresh, just-baked taste.
