Total Time: 50 to 60 minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose or gluten-free flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the olive oil, eggs and Greek yogurt. Whisk to blend.
2. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Add black pepper, to taste, if desired. Mix well to combine. (You can use all-purpose or gluten-free flour.)
3. Add the mozzarella, rosemary and walnuts. Stir to combine.
4. Evenly spread the batter into an 8x4-inch loaf pan that's been lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake in an oven that's been preheated to 350 degrees F until bread is cooked through, crusty and golden (it should pass the toothpick test), about 40 to 50 minutes. (If the loaf is getting too brown on top, you can cover it with aluminum foil.)
6. Allow loaf to cool before slicing and serving.
7. Garnish with additional rosemary, if desired. Store the bread in an airtight container. This bread is extra delicious when toasted.
