Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
Add-ins:
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- Optional: pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and yogurt until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Combine and Fold: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
