When I made this originally I did not follow the recipe exactly. I recall replacing oil with about 1/4 cup additional homemade yogurt. Greek yogurt should work fine. Also I dusted lightly with chipotle powder. Enough to broaden the flavor without making it spicy.

The bread will be relatively dense.
