This bread is versatile in so many ways. You can slice it thin for toast, use it for sandwiches with turkey bacon and chicken ham, or even pair it with sweet spreads for a quick snack.

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

How to Prepare
Making Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is simpler than you might think. With just a few steps, you can have a soft, fluffy, and satisfying bread ready to enjoy. This recipe is quick and easy, yet yields a loaf that rivals traditional bread in texture and flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. This ensures the bread will release easily after baking.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt and 4 large eggs until smooth and well combined. Adding the eggs gradually while whisking helps create a uniform batter that will rise evenly.
-
Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir thoroughly to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
-
Incorporate the dry into the wet. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the yogurt and egg mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mixing until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light, airy texture.
-
Add optional olive oil. For extra softness and moisture, stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This step is optional but recommended if you prefer a richer texture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
-
Bake the bread. Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center—it should come out clean.
-
Cool before slicing. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Cooling helps the texture set and makes slicing easier.
Quick and Easy Tips
-
Customizable: You can add seeds, herbs, or spices to the batter to create different flavors. Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or rosemary work particularly well.
-
Popular with many people: This bread has been a hit with those following low-carb, keto, or high-protein diets. Its mild taste appeals to both adults and children, making it a versatile choice for the whole family.
-
Storage: Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to five days at room temperature and freezes beautifully for longer storage.
By following these steps, you will achieve a soft, golden loaf with a subtle tang from the yogurt and a satisfying structure. The combination of almond and coconut flour gives the bread a tender crumb that works well for sandwiches, toast, or even as a snack with your favorite spreads.

FAQs
1. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes. You can substitute the Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt or almond yogurt. Keep in mind that the texture may be slightly different, but it will still be delicious.
3. How can I store this bread?
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days. For longer storage, slice the bread and freeze it. Toast slices directly from frozen for convenience.
4. Can I add flavors or toppings?
Absolutely. Add seeds like sesame or sunflower, herbs such as rosemary or thyme, or even spices like garlic powder for a savory version. Sweet variations can include cinnamon or a few sugar-free chocolate chips.
5. Is this bread suitable for a keto diet?
Yes, it is low in carbs and high in protein, making it an excellent choice for keto or low-carb meal plans.
6. Can I make it in a different pan shape?
