A gentleman should embrace his artisanal side whether it be in the workshop or the kitchen.  We at G@H love fresh bread and believe that a bread machine, though not essential, is a handy appliance for the modern bachelor.  Carb count all you want.  We refuse to live without bread, pizza, pretzels and pasta – the creation of which is simplified by the bread machine.

A Sunday evening loaf provides a week of lunches, and this variation – Greek yogurt bread – makes great sandwiches.  Because homemade bread does not contain the preservatives found in store-bought loaves, it can dry out quickly, which poses problems for the solo eater.  But, using Greek yogurt helps keep the bread moist longer.

Demeter’s Greek Yogurt Bread

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups of water
• 1 ¼ cups of Greek yogurt
• 4 ¾ cups of bread flour
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast.

Directions

We at G@H own a Zojirushi Home Bakery Virtuoso, but this recipe will work with any bread maker. Add the liquid ingredients to the bread pan followed by the dry ingredients. Form an intention in top center of the dry ingredients for the yeast. Use the machine’s basic cycle.

καλή όρεξη!
