 Easy Bread Recipes: Quick - And - Easy Yoghurt Loaf


 Ingredients:

•  2 ¾ cups natural fat-free yoghurt 

• 1 ½ tsp Bicarbonate of soda 

• 4 cups whole wheat flour 

• ¼ cup brown sugar 

• 1 tsp salt

Method: 

 1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 6-cup loaf pan.

 2. Mix the yoghurt and bicarbonate of soda and set aside for about 5 minutes to bubble.

3. Add the whole wheat flour, brown sugar and salt and mix well.

4. Spoon the dough into the loaf pan.

5. Bake for an hour at 350° F.

 6. Allow to cool slightly in the pan.

7. Turn out onto a wire rack, cover with a bread cloth and cool completely.

 Tip 

 Thick buttermilk may be used instead of yoghurt. In a crunch you can even use milk that you have added lemon juice to, it will still work. I normally add just enough lemon juice to start the process of clotting. 

Remember it is the acidity in the milk that starts the chemical reaction needed for the bread to rise. In any recipe, if you have to substitute an ingredient, ask yourself what the function of the ingredient is in the recipe and then you can easily work out what to substitute it with.

4. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the milk.

5. Add this and the buttermilk to the flour mixture and mix to form a dough.

 Cheaper tip 

 The oats and coconut can be omitted and the wholewheat flour increased to 4 cups. You have to keep in mind though, by omitting the oats and the coconut will sacrifice some of the taste. Your bread will still be tasty and healthy, but with a different flavor.

 It is possible to change the taste of any of these bread recipes by adding fresh herbs. Make sure you use a herb that will complement the meal and it will be a great success.
