Ingredients
Scale
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Optional: pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and yogurt until smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil.
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.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding other herbs or spices to the dough.
This bread can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
Serve with olive oil or balsamic vinegar for dipping.
