Prepper's Pantry: Yogurt Bread

This is an extremely simple bread with a prep time measured in minutes. Including baking, the entire process took me less than an hour from start to finish. It's perfect for those days where bread is desired, but time is limited.

Yogurt Bread

Ingredients

• 3 Cups self-rising flour or all-purpose flour
• 5 tsp Baking powder
• ¾ - 1 tsp salt
• 1 ¾ Cups lowfat vanilla yogurt 
• (if using Greek yogurt, increase to 2 Cups)

Recipe

1. Combine flour and yogurt in a large bowl. Mix with a spatula until no lumps of flour remain. Hand mixing may be required. When done, the dough should be moist and slightly sticky. Add small amounts of flour or yogurt to get the desired texture.
   
   

   

   Dough mixed and ready
   

   
   
2. Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper and add the dough. Use the spatula to smooth and level the surface if desired.

This bread has a slightly heavy texture and a rich flavor. It can be eaten as-is, but works wonderfully with a fruit spread or honey for breakfast, or any other time. There's also an alternate version that uses sour cream in place of the yogurt I intend to try as well.
