Bake this yogurt bread in just 45 minutes for a comforting, no-fuss treat that captures the charm of homemade goodness.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing; some small lumps are fine.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and gently smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of bread plain, or slathered with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
