Pasta/Pizza - Fluffy Greek yogurt bread by Cipriana D. - Recipia

Fluffy Greek yogurt bread is usually served alongside soup, with a soft crumb and a browned crust. The dough, leavened with milk and oil, is simply shaped, then baked until the crust is browned and the inside is springy. I liked the taste, and I cut it into thick slices. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 30 minutes. Rest: 90 minutes. Total time: 135 minutes. Serves: 8. About 265 kcal and 7 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

400 g flour
7 g dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
150 ml warm milk
1 teaspoon salt
125 g Greek yogurt
50 ml oil
15 ml water

Preparation

1. Dissolve the yeast in 30 ml warm milk, then add the sugar and a tablespoon of the 400 g flour. Leave the mixture for 10 minutes, until it starts to rise. 2. Put the remaining flour and the salt in a bowl and whisk them together. Add the yeast mixture, the yogurt at room temperature, 120 ml milk and 45 ml oil. Knead for 8 minutes, until you have a dough that is easy to stretch, a little firm and not sticky. 3. Grease the bowl with 5 ml oil, put the dough in it and cover it. Leave it to rise for 60 minutes, until doubled in size. 4. Knead the dough briefly and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, without shaping it in any particular way. Leave it to rise for another 20 minutes. 5. Heat the oven to 200°C. Brush the dough with 15 ml water, score it lightly and bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top.

Notes

It keeps well, wrapped, for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. If the kitchen is cool, it may take longer than the stated time to rise, so keep an eye on the dough’s volume. Flour can absorb milk differently, so the dough should stay firm and not sticky. Sometimes the bread browns before it is cooked through in the middle; cover it loosely with parchment paper for the last few minutes. I serve it with soup or cheese; it contains gluten and dairy.
