Savory Caprese Bread


  • Author: Alioui
  • Total Time: 55–60 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Description

This bread is a symphony of flavors that combines the softness of mozzarella with the richness of sun-dried tomatoes and the freshness of basil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with milk and olive oil. Add Greek yogurt, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually combine dry and wet ingredients, then fold in sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

To enhance flavor, consider letting the bread rest for a day before serving. Ensure sun-dried tomatoes are well-drained to prevent sogginess. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
