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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, fresh oregano, and ground black pepper, ensuring the herbs and cheese are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the batter, if desired, for an extra touch of texture and flavor.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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!
