How to Make Buddha's Greek Harmony Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup plain Greek yogurt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
