Tips
Use full-fat yogurt for best texture and moisture.
More eggs = fluffier bread, fewer eggs = denser texture.
Almond flour improves structure and makes it more bread-like.
Don’t skip binders if you want sliceable bread.
Let it cool fully before cutting to avoid crumbling.
Use parchment paper for easy removal.
Avoid overmixing to keep it light.
Check doneness with a toothpick in the center.
Store in fridge for better firmness and shelf life.
Toast slices for improved texture and flavor.
