Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and yogurt until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Add the shredded mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil, folding gently to combine.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top and tapping the pan to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
