Feta and Red Onion Quick Bread (regular or spelt flour)
Ingredients
- 50g (¼ cup) butter (melted)
- 250g (2 cups) flour (see note 1)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking (bicarbonate soda)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 small red onion (very finely chopped)
- 50g (1¾ oz) feta cheese
- 125ml (½ cup) milk (see note 2)
- 115g (½ cup) Greek yoghurt (or any plain yoghurt will do)
- 1 egg
- sprinkling mozzarella cheese (see note 3)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a medium-large loaf tin.
- Melt the butter and set to one side.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar together. Add the chopped red onion and crumble in the feta.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the yoghurt and milk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir only until justs combined (the dough will be sticky).
- Pour into the prepared loaf tin and sprinkle with a little mozzarella (or cheese of your choice).
- Bake for around 35-40 minutes (start to check at the 30 minute mark). The bread is ready when an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool and then slice. Enjoy!
Notes
Disclaimer: I use scales to measure my ingredients but have included cups and ounces to help my readers. Because I have not used imperial measurements myself, results cannot be guaranteed if you choose to use cups and ounces.
- I have used both bread and spelt flour to make this recipe, with little noticeable difference. You could also use regular flour and do a straight swap (using the same amount).
- I used almond milk, but you could use any kind you like.
- I used mozzarella because I wanted to use some up. Any kind of cheese would work just as well.
