Reviews
It’s a great recipe, have made it twice now and almost everyone relished it. Thank you
This was pretty good. I didn’t have plain yogurt on hand, so I used a container of greek vanilla yogurt + sour cream to make the 3/4 cup needed for the recipe. The bread was a little on the sweet side, I’m sure due to the sugar in the yogurt that I used, so next time I’d cut back on the sugar a bit if using flavored yogurt. I do want to mention that this made (2) 7″ x 3″ loaves. I was a little thrown off by the 6″ pan requirement. My full size loaf pans are more like 8.5″ x 4.5″ x 3″, which would be the size needed for this recipe if making a full size loaf instead of the two smaller loaves that I made.
