Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best)
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
Optional: pinch of salt for extra flavor
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. -
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder (and salt if using). Add the yogurt and mix with a spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms. The dough should be soft but manageable; add a little more flour if it’s too sticky. -
Shape the Dough
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula or your hands. You can also shape it into a round or oval loaf on a baking tray if you prefer a free-form shape. -
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. This bread is best served warm but can also be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
Tips and Variations
-
Add Flavors: Mix in herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant twist, or sprinkle seeds like sesame or sunflower on top.
-
Cheese Bread: Fold in shredded cheese for a savory variation.
-
Quick Flatbread: Shape the dough into small rounds and pan-fry them for a few minutes on each side for a quick flatbread option.
This 3-ingredient bread is soft, easy to make, and surprisingly versatile. It’s perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side for soups and stews.
