Easy Yogurt Bread Recipes

EASY YOGURT BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.) Set aside.
• In another large mixing bowl, combine vanilla-flavored yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract using a whisk. Then, slowly add the dry ingredients in a few additions. Mix after each addition. Don't overmix the batter.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until ready. Check the readiness of the easy yogurt bread using a toothpick inserted in the center, if it comes out clean - the bread is ready. Let it cool to room temperature on a cooling rack. Then, remove from the loaf pan, slice, and enjoy!

EASY YOGURT BREAD

Steps:

• Pour the water into the bowl of a stand mixer, if you have one. Don't worry if you don't, just use a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast and swirl to dissolve.
• Add the yogurt and mix into the water, then add the flour and salt. If using a stand mixer, mix using the dough hook on a low speed for about 5 minutes, until smooth and stretchy.If you're not using a stand mixer, mix with your hand in the bowl until the dough has come together, then turn out and knead on the work surface until it has become a smooth, pliable, stretchy dough. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes.
• If kneading by hand put the dough back in the bowl then cover with cling film (or a plastic shower cap) and leave to prove until doubled in size (in a warm place for about 35 mins)
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Butter a 1lb loaf tin - I find that butter works much better than oil and the loaf comes out of the tin much easier. Fold the dough into thirds, and then roll into a tube as long as the loaf tin.
• Cover again with the shower cap (if you have one), pulling it up to give the dough space to rise. If you don't have a shower cap, place the tin in a plastic bag and tie shut. Place the tin in the warm location used in step three above.
• After about 15 minutes rising time, heat the oven to GM7 / 220C / 425F. Leave the dough to rise for about a further 15 to 20 minutes, until it's just springing back when pressed.
• Bake for about 35 minutes.
• When it is done it should turn out of the tin and sound hollow when tapped. It always takes longer to bake than you think it will, so my general rule of thumb is that if you are unsure give it another 5 mins.

LEMON YOGURT BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. In another bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, oil and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Pour into an 8x4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

FAST AND EASY YOGURT BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in the warm water and set the mixture aside to proof for 10 minutes, until bubbles form. Add the salt and yogurt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Sift the flour and add it gradually, stirring it in until you can no longer stir.
• Remove the dough to a floured board and knead it for 5 to 10 minutes, slowly working in any remaining flour, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Divide the dough in half, for 2 loaves, and place each in an oiled 20 cm x 10 cm loaf pan. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 50 minutes or until it comes to the tops of the pans. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 180 °C, 350 °F.
• Bake the loaves for 40 minutes or until they are browned and sound hollow when tapped. Remove the loaves from the pans and cool on a rack. If you want a soft crust, brush the tops of the warm loaves with butter.

SIMPLE YOGURT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
• Mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in flour mixture a little at a time, mixing well between each addition to avoid lumps. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

EASY HOMEMADE YOGURT

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce heat and simmer, about 10 minutes; do not let it boil over.
• Remove pot from heat and allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes. Dip your finger into the milk every once in a while to determine when you can leave your finger in the milk for 10 to 15 seconds without burning. Pour in the yogurt; there is no need to stir.
• Put the lid on the pot and carefully wrap a blanket around it. Place the wrapped pot in a slightly warm place where it will be undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours; overnight is best. Transfer to the refrigerator to allow the yogurt to continue to thicken.

YOGURT FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees F; see Cook's Note) with the honey in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in the yeast and let sit until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt and 2/3 cup warm water. Stir the water and yogurt together in the well, then stir in the yeast mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture together until it forms a rough ball of dough; the dough will have a shaggy texture. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. If the dough begins to stick to your hands, lightly flour them and continue to knead. Add the dough back to the bowl, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough. At this point, you can proceed with baking below, or you can freeze the dough. To freeze, place the dough in a resealable freezer bag, squeeze out excess air and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator the night before you want to make the flatbreads.
• To cook the flatbreads, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 2 ounces each. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten into a circle with your palm. Roll each dough circle into a roughly 6- to 7-inch round, but don't worry if the flatbread takes on another shape, as long as it is approximately 1/4 inch thick. If the dough begins to stick to the rolling pin or board, just dust with more flour.
• Heat a 10-inch or larger cast-iron pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil. When the pan just begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 to 2 flatbreads or whatever fits in the pan without any overlap. Cook until bubbles appear on the top of the dough and the bottom is cooked and deep brown in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until completely cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet to cool and repeat with the remaining flatbreads. If the pan gets too hot, just remove from the heat to let cool slightly, then wipe out the pan, grease with a little more oil and resume cooking the flatbreads.
• When all the flatbreads are cooked, let cool completely. Eat immediately or wrap in a clean towel and store at room temperature for 1 day. To freeze: To ensure fresh, warm flatbreads every time, stack the flatbreads with a piece of parchment between each (see Cook's Note) and then place in a resealable freezer bag. Push out the excess air and freeze for up to about 2 months.
• To reheat, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the desired number of flatbreads from the freezer and place on a baking sheet in a flat layer. Bake from frozen until the flatbreads are warmed through and soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, you can toast the flatbreads from frozen in a toaster oven for about 3 minutes on the toaster setting.
