Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder. If using almond flour, add it now. Mix everything until the batter is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour and Smooth the Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The bread is done when the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Completely: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing to achieve the best texture and to prevent crumbling.
Notes
- Use full-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt for best texture and flavor.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain structure.
- The optional almond flour adds extra structure but can be omitted for strict zero-carb adherence.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and toast before serving for the best texture and taste.
- Customize your bread by adding herbs, seeds, or spices to suit different flavor profiles.
