Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1.5 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, fresh oregano, and ground black pepper, ensuring the herbs and cheese are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the batter, if desired, for an extra touch of texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Greek Cheese Bread II with a side of olives or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil!
