Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Add-ins
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes for a kick

Equipment

  • 8×4-inch loaf pan
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and yogurt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil.
  5. 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.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
