Instant Pot Sourdough Bread
Description
Instant Pot Sourdough Bread uses bread flour, salt, instant yeast, and Greek yogurt to create a distinctive dough. The ingredients are mixed by hand until combined, with extra yogurt added if needed for moisture. Proofing the dough inside the Instant Pot on the yogurt setting encourages rising in a stable, warm environment over four hours. After proofing, the dough is kneaded on a floured surface, shaped into a ball, and covered to rise further.
The loaf is baked in a preheated Dutch oven at 450°F, initially covered to trap steam, which promotes a crisp crust, then uncovered to brown for the final minutes. The result is bread with a firm crust and tender interior. The yogurt contributes subtle tanginess and softness while yeast provides traditional leavening.
This bread is suitable for slicing fresh and serving alongside meals or using in sandwiches. It’s a versatile homemade loaf offering the flavors and textures of a sourdough-style bread with a convenient proofing method. Cooling on a rack allows the crumb to set before slicing.
