Yogurt Herb Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. In another bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt and milk. Stir into dry ingredients until just moistened. , Spoon into a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. , Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
• Mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Stir in flour mixture a little at a time, mixing well between each addition to avoid lumps. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sift together the 1st 5 ingredients. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
• Beat together (high speed on an electric mixer) the next 4 ingredients for 3-5 minutes ~ until frothy. Add the herbs, and beat well.
• Pour the liquid - herb mixture into the well in the center of the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
• Pour into a well-buttered loaf pan, and bake 40-50 minutes (until knife inserted into center-of-bread comes out clean).
• Note: The flavors of the herbs get stronger as the bread ages ~ you will have a chance to notice this if the bread sits around for several days before it is completely devoured.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. In another bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, oil and lemon juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Pour into an 8x4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Mix yogurt, mint, parsley, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees F; see Cook's Note) with the honey in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in the yeast and let sit until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt and 2/3 cup warm water. Stir the water and yogurt together in the well, then stir in the yeast mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture together until it forms a rough ball of dough; the dough will have a shaggy texture. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. If the dough begins to stick to your hands, lightly flour them and continue to knead. Add the dough back to the bowl, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough. At this point, you can proceed with baking below, or you can freeze the dough. To freeze, place the dough in a resealable freezer bag, squeeze out excess air and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator the night before you want to make the flatbreads.
• To cook the flatbreads, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 2 ounces each. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten into a circle with your palm. Roll each dough circle into a roughly 6- to 7-inch round, but don't worry if the flatbread takes on another shape, as long as it is approximately 1/4 inch thick. If the dough begins to stick to the rolling pin or board, just dust with more flour.
• Heat a 10-inch or larger cast-iron pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil. When the pan just begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 to 2 flatbreads or whatever fits in the pan without any overlap. Cook until bubbles appear on the top of the dough and the bottom is cooked and deep brown in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until completely cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet to cool and repeat with the remaining flatbreads. If the pan gets too hot, just remove from the heat to let cool slightly, then wipe out the pan, grease with a little more oil and resume cooking the flatbreads.
• When all the flatbreads are cooked, let cool completely. Eat immediately or wrap in a clean towel and store at room temperature for 1 day. To freeze: To ensure fresh, warm flatbreads every time, stack the flatbreads with a piece of parchment between each (see Cook's Note) and then place in a resealable freezer bag. Push out the excess air and freeze for up to about 2 months.
• To reheat, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the desired number of flatbreads from the freezer and place on a baking sheet in a flat layer. Bake from frozen until the flatbreads are warmed through and soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, you can toast the flatbreads from frozen in a toaster oven for about 3 minutes on the toaster setting.

Steps:

• Let yogurt stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, sugar, oil, salt and yogurt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough bread flour to form a firm dough., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down.
