In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Warm the skim milk to lukewarm temperature (about 38°C or 100°F) to activate the yeast effectively.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy.
Add the warm skim milk, low-fat Greek yogurt, whisked egg white, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix the ingredients together until a rough dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky, but add sparingly.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm and draft-free area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air and transfer it back to the floured surface. Shape it into a desired shape or a loaf and place it in a lightly greased bread loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in volume.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) while the dough is undergoing the second rise.
Once risen, place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your low-fat cream bread with your favorite toppings or simply on its own!
