Instructions
Prevent your screen from sleeping
Preheat the oven: About 5–8 minutes before the batter is ready, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). For fan ovens, use 320°F (160°C fan).
Grease and line a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper(baking paper)
Flour mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Greek yogurt mixture: In a separate bowl or measuring jug, stir the Greek yogurt, milk, and oil until smooth, thick, and creamy.
Combine: Add the Greek yogurt mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until no dry flour remains and a thick, sticky dough forms. The dough will be thick and scoopable, not pourable.
Transfer to the pan: Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan.
Use the back of a damp spoon or spatula to spread the dough and level the top.
Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Check at 30 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the centre of the loaf.
If the toothpick comes out with wet batter and the top is already well browned, loosely cover the loaf with foil and continue baking until the toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and leave it in the pan for 10 minutes.
While still in the pan, brush the top with melted butter. This helps keep the top soft as the bread cools.
Remove from the pan, cover loosely while warm, and let cool for 30–40 minutes before slicing.
Storage
Room temperature: Store at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
Refrigerate: For longer storage, refrigerate, in an airtight container. Toast slices before serving to bring back a softer texture.
