Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 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, omit for strict zero carb)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well to ensure easy removal of the bread after baking.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt, and ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder to the wet mixture. If using almond flour, stir in ½ cup finely ground almond flour. Mix until the batter is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour and Smooth the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly for uniform baking and a neat loaf shape.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The bread is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 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 and allow it to cool completely before slicing to ensure the best structure and prevent crumbling.
Notes
- Use full-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt for best richness, texture, and zero net carbs.
- Cool bread completely before slicing to help it hold together and prevent crumbling.
- Optional almond flour adds structure but should be omitted for a strict zero-carb version.
- Refrigerate leftovers and toast before serving to enhance texture and flavor.
- Customize with herbs, seeds, or spices like garlic powder, rosemary, or cinnamon for savory or sweet variations.
