Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • ½ cup milk less 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons thyme chopped, 1 tablespoon if using dried, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Cream butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes. 
  3. Add the egg and cream for an additional 1-2 minutes. 
  4. Add milk, lemon juice, and yogurt and whisk until well combined. 
  5. In another bowl, combine flour, soda, salt, thyme, and zest.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just barely combined, do not overmix. 
  7. Pour into one greased loaf pan (see note) and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs on it.

Notes

  • I use one regular sized (9x5 inches) loaf pan, but you could easily use two smaller or three mini loaf pans, just alter the baking time accordingly.
