Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, olive oil, and yogurt, whisking until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder, ensuring no clumps.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fold in the mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes until golden-brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
