This Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is a delicious, low-carb alternative to traditional bread.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
  • ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 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 prevent sticking.
  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 a well-incorporated base for the bread.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder to the wet mixture. If you are using almond flour, stir it in at this point. Mix thoroughly until the batter is well-combined and has slightly thickened in consistency.
  4. Pour and Smooth the Batter: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly to ensure even baking and a neat loaf.
  5. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The bread is ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture and structure, preventing it from crumbling.

Notes

  • Using aluminum-free baking powder helps avoid any metallic aftertaste.
  • The xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder is essential for binding and providing structure since this bread does not use traditional flour.
  • Optional almond flour adds a little more body without significantly increasing carbs, but you can omit it for a stricter zero-carb version.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
  • Slice the bread with a serrated knife to avoid crushing the loaf.
