Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add in the milk, olive oil, and yogurt; whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just incorporated, leaving a few floury streaks.
  5. Gently fold in mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil leaves, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
