⏱️ Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 30–35 minutes
❄️ Cool Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: ~45 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional: herbs (like garlic powder, oregano, or rosemary), sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a small loaf pan or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Mix wet ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.

Add dry ingredients:
Stir in the baking powder and salt. Mix well until fully combined. The batter will be thick and creamy.

Pour into pan:
Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. (It won’t rise much, so fill accordingly.)

Bake:
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool completely:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Serving Ideas:

Toast with butter or cream cheese

Top with avocado or eggs for a keto breakfast

Use as sandwich bread or burger buns (slice thick and pan-fry).

Tips for Best Results:

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and to keep it keto-friendly.

Don’t overmix the batter — stir until just combined to avoid dense bread.

Let it cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Want it fluffier? Add a pinch more baking powder or separate the eggs and fold in whipped egg whites.

To make it toasty: Slice and pan-fry or toast for a crisp outer layer.

Tasty Variations:

Cheesy Herb Bread:
Add 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan) and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or garlic powder.

Savory Seed Bread:
Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or flaxseeds on top before baking for texture and flavor.

Spicy Kick:
Add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the batter for a bold twist.

Nutty Touch:
Mix in 1–2 tbsp almond flour or coconut flour if you want a denser, more bread-like texture (note: adds minimal carbs).

Mini Bites:
Pour batter into a greased muffin tin for mini yogurt bread muffins — bake ~15–18 minutes.

Zero Carb Yogurt Bread Q&A

Q: Is this bread really zero carb?
A: It’s very close! Depending on the brand of Greek yogurt you use, it can have virtually 0–1g net carbs per slice. Always check the nutrition label for the exact carb count.

Q: Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
A: Greek yogurt is thicker and higher in protein, which helps the bread hold its shape. Regular yogurt is too runny and may make the bread soggy — not recommended for this recipe.

Q: Can I add flour or make it more “bready”?
A: Yes! Add 1–2 tablespoons of almond flour or coconut flour for a denser, more bread-like texture. Keep in mind this will slightly increase the carb count.

Q: How should I store it?
A: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. You can also freeze slices with parchment between them for easy grab-and-go!

Q: Can I toast it?
A: Absolutely! It toasts well in a pan or toaster oven. Try it with butter, cream cheese, or avocado for a satisfying low-carb snack.

Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yep! Just use a larger loaf pan and extend the baking time by 5–10 minutes. Always check for doneness with a toothpick.
