Sesame Seed Yogurt Bread

Let the bread machine do the work on this one. You load the ingredients, press a button, and come back to a golden loaf with a soft, tangy crumb studded with sesame seeds.

The yogurt is the secret weapon. It adds moisture that keeps the bread tender for days and a subtle tang that plays beautifully against the nutty sesame. Combined with bread flour and a touch of butter, you get a loaf with real structure that still slices like a dream.

It’s the kind of everyday bread that elevates a simple sandwich or tastes incredible warm with just a smear of butter. Set it on a timer and wake up to the smell of fresh bread filling your kitchen.

Pro Tips

• Add ingredients in the order your machine’s manual recommends. Wet first or dry first varies by brand, and getting it wrong can leave you with a dense, underbaked lump.
• Use room temperature yogurt and water. Cold liquids slow down the yeast activation and can throw off the machine’s timing cycle.
• Toast the sesame seeds beforehand if you want a bolder nutty flavor. Raw seeds are mild; toasted seeds transform the whole loaf.
