Turkish Cornbread image

This is slightly heavier than American corn bread, with the distinct flavor of olive oil. It's very nice as an accompaniment to soups and bean dishes.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
