This mock sourdough bread is easy to make with yogurt instead of a time-consuming starter. You still get that tangy sourdough flavor!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 3 (6 ounce) containers plain yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast

  • ½ cup warm water

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed, divided

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • cold water as needed

Directions

  1. Place yogurt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave (or heat on the stovetop) until lukewarm.

  2. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in yogurt, 2 cups flour, sugar, oil, and salt; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining 2 cups flour to make dough easy to handle.

  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth. Place in a greased bowl; let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  4. Shape dough into 8 loaves; lightly brush each with cold water. Cut 3 diagonal slashes across loaf tops with a sharp knife. Let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.

  5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush loaves with cold water.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until loaves sound hollow when tapped, 30 to 35 minutes, brushing with water twice during baking time.
