Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use butter or any neutral oils like vegetable oil or coconut oil.
- Instead of cane sugar, you can use granulated white sugar.
- Instead of all purpose flour, you can use whole wheat white flour.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
