Irish Yogurt Bread
This quick Irish yogurt bread is a simple, no-yeast bake that comes together in minutes. Flavored yogurt provides moisture and a subtle tang, while dried currants add sweet, chewy bites throughout the tender crumb. Because it skips the long rising times of traditional bread, you can have a warm loaf ready for breakfast or an afternoon snack almost immediately. Serve it fresh from the oven with a quick drizzle of yogurt and fruit preserves for a perfect sweet finish.
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup dried currants or raisins
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 container (6 oz) lemon burst, orange creme or French vanilla yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round baking pan with shortening.
- 2Whisk the flour, currants, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine the yogurt and vegetable oil. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just moistened, then spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- 3Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
- 4Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. For a quick topping, mix equal parts yogurt and your favorite fruit preserves, then drizzle the mixture over the baked wedges.
