Bread Machine Method
Place room temperature ingredients in pan in order listed. Select BASIC setting and MEDIUM crust. Do not use the delay timer. Remove bread when cycle is finished; cool.
Traditional Method
Combine yeast, baking soda, 1-1/2 cups flour, salt, and sugar. Heat yogurt and water to 120º-130ºF. Add liquids to flour mixture. Beat 3 minutes on medium speed. Add remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in lightly greased bowl. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe, about 40 minutes.
Shaping, Rising and Baking
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Roll or pat to 14- x 7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 8- x 4-inch bread pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching. Bake in preheated 375ºF oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on rack.
