Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
  • ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, full-fat Greek yogurt, and melted butter or coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture in the bread.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder into the wet ingredients. If using almond flour, stir it in now. Mix thoroughly until the batter is well combined and slightly thickened.
  4. Pour and Smooth the Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly for a uniform bake.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The bread is ready when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Cooling fully is essential to maintain the bread’s structure and prevent crumbling when cut.

Notes

  • Use full-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together well.
  • Almond flour is optional; it adds structure but can be omitted for a strict zero carb recipe.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and toast slices before serving to restore texture and freshness.
  • Customize the recipe by adding herbs, seeds, or spices to tailor the bread’s flavor to your liking.
