As the colder months draw in, the craving for comforting foods like warm soup and fresh bread intensifies. However, health-conscious Brits are often wary of the supermarket aisle, where many loaves are packed with additives and preservatives.
The Viral Recipe Solution
For those who prefer to bake their own, a revolutionary new recipe is taking the internet by storm. Instagram baker Laura Nightingale, who shares her creations with 149,000 followers under the handle @cakeontherun, has unveiled a surprisingly simple method for making "healthy seeded bread".
The standout feature of this recipe is its incredibly short baking time of just 10 minutes in an air fryer, offering a speedy alternative to traditional oven baking. The method was demonstrated in a recent reel that has since amassed over 29,000 likes from an enthusiastic audience.
An Unlikely Ingredient for Perfect Bread
What makes this recipe so unique is its use of an unexpected component: Greek yoghurt. Laura begins by combining the yoghurt with flour, a mix of seeds, and salt. She notes in an overlay text that "Most people have never put Greek yoghurt with flour, seeds and salt".
The recipe is highly adaptable. Laura confirms that bakers can use either self-raising flour or plain all-purpose flour. For a gluten-free version, she recommends gluten-free self-raising flour with a small amount of xanthan gum. The Greek yoghurt can also be substituted with soya yoghurt if needed.
After quickly combining the ingredients into a dough, it is placed directly into the air fryer. For those without an air fryer, the bread can be baked in a conventional oven for approximately 15 minutes.
Rave Reviews from Followers
The response to the recipe has been overwhelmingly positive. One fan declared it the "best thing ever", while another commented that it "looks amazing".
One home baker who tried the recipe shared their success: "Absolutely love this. Made mine with gluten free plain flour [and] added a bit of cheese. Omg heavenly. Thank you." Another praised its simplicity, stating, "This is very simple to make."
