Pine Nut Bread with Greek Yogurt

This is an ultra quick no yeast bread that can be rustled up in under an hour - that's preparation, mixing and baking. It includes a slightly unusual ingredient - Greek Yogurt, but it's the yogurt that gives the bread a wonderful flavour and keeps it moist for a couple of days. I decided to put some toasted pine nuts in this one, although other nuts would work equally well, as would fresh chopped herbs, sun dried tomatoes, olives and dried fruit. The combinations are endless. Just use the quantities as a base recipe and go and experiment.

    Greek yogurt and pine nuts seem to be a natural. Now I see you have paired it with some grilled halloumi. Have I died and gone to heaven.

    Dani - walnuts sound good, I think I'm going to try walnuts and some grated courgettes or carrots in the mix next time.
