Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.

Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.

Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use butter or any neutral oils like vegetable oil or coconut oil.
Instead of cane sugar, you can use granulated white sugar.
Instead of all purpose flour, you can use whole wheat white flour.
To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
