Yogurt Bread

At my house, my friend and I are both bread lovers. We eat bread every single day. We might not only eat it in breakfast, but also in lunch or tea time. So, bread is very quickly to be consumed at our house. Occasionally, we are very lazy to bake breads from the scratch so that we will use “bread mix.” It is easy to knead, and it takes less than an hour. And then, you can have fresh bread to eat.

But, mostly, we still bake fresh bread from the beginning. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and knead until it becomes soft and elastic. If you don’t have dough mixer, like me, you might need around 20~30 minutes to knead the dough. I just see it as a work out.

Oven Temperature Setting: 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6

Baking Time: Around 12~15 minutes
Recipe: 9 Yogurt Bread

Steps of Yogurt Bread

(1) Add flour, salt and sugar into a big bowl. Mix a little.

(2) Add milk with instant yeast and yogurt into the bowl. Mix all ingredients well.
(Selena’s Kitchen Talk: My instant yeast’s instruction is to add yeast in the water around 5 minutes. Check the instruction before using it.)
(3) Then, move the dough into a floured table. Knead olive oil into the dough. Knead the dough until it turns soft and elastic.

(4) Add raisin into the dough. Knead around 2 minutes until it distributes evenly. Shape the dough into a ball and put back to the bowl. Leave the dough in a warm place to double its size. It takes around 90 ~ 120 minutes

(5) After the first grow-up, move the dough to the working table with light flour. Separate it to 9 small balls equally. Leave the dough in a warm place to double its size again. It takes around 40 ~ 60 minutes

(6) Brush some egg or water over the top of dough. Send it to the pre-heat oven at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 and bake around 15~20 minutes until the top turns golden.

 
Because of yogurt, the taste of yogurt is softer. Every bite has a very lighter flavor of yogurt. It is a good idea to mix yogurt into the bread. It sounds more health. Enjoy it.
