Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Savory Caprese Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and ½ cup of yogurt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and ¼ cup of finely chopped fresh basil.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
