Braided Bread Roll

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Make a well in the center.

Step 2

Pour the 3/4 cup yogurt and 2 tbsp olive oil into the well. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until smooth, about 2 minutes. Do not overwork.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each into a 12-inch rope. Pinch the tops together and braid the ropes, then tuck the ends under.

Step 5

Place the braid on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 375°F until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
