Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat preferred)
• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Optional add-ins: Salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, shredded cheese, or sesame seeds for added flavor

Directions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small loaf pan (about 8×4 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until well combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the baking powder. If you’re adding any optional flavorings like salt, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning, now is the time to add them in. Mix everything together until smooth.
4. Add cheese (optional): If you’re adding shredded cheese or sesame seeds, fold them into the batter now. The cheese will give the bread a deliciously cheesy flavor and extra moisture.
5. Transfer to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and slice: Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!

FAQs

1. Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of full-fat?

Yes, you can use non-fat Greek yogurt, but the bread may not be as rich or moist. Full-fat yogurt helps keep the bread softer.

2. Can I use another type of yogurt?

Plain, unsweetened yogurt is best for this recipe, but you could use a different variety like coconut or almond milk yogurt if you prefer dairy-free options.

3. Can I make this bread dairy-free?

Yes, use a dairy-free yogurt (such as coconut or almond yogurt) and ensure the shredded cheese is dairy-free if you’re adding it.

4. Can I add flour to this recipe for more structure?

This bread is meant to be low-carb and flour-free. Adding flour would alter the carb count, but you can experiment with almond flour or coconut flour for a low-carb version if you prefer a more traditional bread texture.

5. Can I make this bread in a muffin tin?

Yes, you can bake this dough in muffin tins to make individual servings. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. How do I keep the bread from being too dense?

Make sure you don’t overmix the batter, as that can cause the bread to be dense. Just mix until the ingredients are incorporated, and no more.

7. Can I add vegetables to the bread?

Yes, you can fold in finely chopped vegetables, like spinach or zucchini, for added flavor and nutrition. Be sure to remove excess moisture from the vegetables before adding them to the batter.

8. How can I make the bread fluffier?

If you want a fluffier bread, you can separate the egg yolks and whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and then fold them into the batter gently.

9. Can I make this recipe without baking powder?

Baking powder is essential to help the bread rise. If you don’t have it, you can try using baking soda and a bit of vinegar as a substitute, but the texture might change slightly.

10. Can I make this recipe in a different pan?

You can adjust the pan size, but the baking time may change. If using a larger or smaller pan, monitor the bread while baking and adjust the time accordingly.
