Soft and flavorful, this Yoghurt Raisin Bread brings a delightful twist to classic quick bread recipes with its rich, tangy yoghurt base and bursts of sweetness from plump raisins. Perfectly moist and subtly sweet, this no-yeast bread comes together in just under an hour, making it ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. A combination of pantry staples—like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a touch of vanilla—comes to life with the creaminess of plain yoghurt and the melt-in-your-mouth addition of butter. The balanced texture is complemented by a golden-brown crust, while the gentle spice of cinnamon or nuts (optional for variation) can easily be added for a personal touch. Serve warm with a dollop of jam or a smear of butter for a comforting, homemade treat that never fails to impress.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or spread with butter or jam for additional flavor!
