A quick and easy no-yeast bread packed with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, unbleached recommended
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 ounces (170 g) fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy release.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until fully blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil carefully to distribute evenly without crushing the tomatoes.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Fill the pan about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (except for melted cheese bits). Check at 30 minutes if your oven runs hot.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Use fresh, ripe mozzarella and tomatoes for best flavor. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner slices. Optional add-ins include dried oregano, red pepper flakes, or different herbs. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free baking powder. For vegan, substitute egg with flax egg and use plant-based milk and vegan mozzarella.
