Notes
How do I know if my baking powder is fresh?
Over time your baking staples can lose their efficiency and lead to a bread that does not rise as it should. To test your baking powder, drop a pinch in a bowl of hot water. If it bubbles, your baking powder is good to use! If it doesn’t, discard and open a new container.What is Yogurt Bread?
The name may sound a little fancy, but it's actually quite simple! It's a quick bread. Made with yogurt. Literally, that's it. It doesn't contain yeast so it doesn't need any time to proof and it's soft and moist just like a cake. You get the best of both worlds!What Does Yogurt Do to Bread?
Yogurt is a great way to make a more tender bread without changing the taste of it. It does this because of the yogurt's acidity which allows the gluten to relax. It also replaces fats such as oil and butter and although this recipe still calls for oil, there are recipes that omit the oil.How To Store Simple Yogurt Bread
