Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking It

Ready to get started? This recipe is straightforward yet yields impressive results. Here’s what you can expect: you’ll combine wet ingredients, mix in your dry ingredients, and bake it all to golden perfection. In just a few simple steps, you’ll have fresh bread to enjoy.

What you’ll need

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder (for texture and structure)
  • Optional: ½ cup finely ground almond flour (adds structure without raising carbs significantly)

Note: If you have nut allergies, feel free to skip the almond flour altogether while keeping in mind that it will slightly affect the texture.

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it generously.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, and melted butter (or coconut oil) until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  3. Next, add the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder. If you’re using almond flour, stir it in at this stage.
  4. Mix until the batter is well combined and slightly thickened—the texture should be cohesive and smooth.
  5. Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to ensure the top is even.
  6. Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top turns a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Make sure to allow it to cool completely before slicing for the best texture and to prevent crumbling.

Best Way to Serve

This versatile yogurt bread can be served in various ways! Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter or top it with your favorite spreads like cream cheese or avocado. It also makes a fantastic base for sandwiches; just layer in your choice of deli meats and veggies for a delicious lunch option. Pair it with a fresh salad or soup, and you have a meal that will please everyone at the table.

Storage Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers, storing this zero-carb yogurt bread is simple. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to a week at room temperature. Want to keep it longer? Slice the bread and freeze it in a freezer-safe bag. Just toast or microwave slices straight from the freezer, and you’re ready to indulge!

Expert Advice

To enhance the texture and flavor of your bread, ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps in achieving that delightful lightness. If you want a slightly drier loaf, increase the baking time by a few minutes while keeping a close watch not to overcook it.

Creative Twists

Feel free to mix things up! Add some herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist or try incorporating shredded cheese into the batter for a cheesy flavor. You can also experiment by folding in fresh spinach or grated zucchini to boost the nutritional content!
