Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, ¼ cup of olive oil, and ½ cup of yogurt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and ¼ cup of fresh basil leaves.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
