Ingredients You’ll Need
The shortlist of ingredients keeps things delightfully simple — and each item was chosen for how it enhances the flavor, structure, and texture of Zero Carb Yogurt Bread. Don’t be tempted to skip or substitute, as every component plays a unique role in creating the perfect loaf.
- Full-fat plain Greek yogurt: Creamy, tangy yogurt brings wonderful moisture and subtle flavor while keeping the bread ultra-low in carbs.
- Large eggs: The powerhouse protein and structure builder; eggs help the loaf rise and stay light.
- Almond flour: Adds gentle nuttiness, natural richness, and a tender crumb without the carbs of regular flour.
- Coconut flour: A little goes a long way to help absorb extra moisture and improve structure.
- Baking powder: Lifts the bread beautifully for an airy, sliceable loaf every time.
- Salt: Enhances all the other flavors and keeps the crumb from tasting flat.
- Olive oil (optional): Adds extra moisture and richness if you want an even softer bread.
- Xanthan gum (optional): Binds the bread for a chewier, more traditional texture, especially if you plan to slice thin for toast or sandwiches.
How to Make Zero Carb Yogurt Bread
Step 1: Prep Your Pan & Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s beautifully hot and ready for baking. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease it generously to ensure the bread releases easily later—trust me, you don’t want to wrestle with a stuck loaf!
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat Greek yogurt and eggs until the mixture is silky smooth and light in color. This step helps the bread turn out extra fluffy and evenly textured, so don’t rush it.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Sprinkle in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum if you’re using it. Stir everything together until you have a thick, cohesive batter. The coconut flour will absorb extra liquid — don’t worry if it seems dense, that’s exactly what you want.
Step 4: Finish the Batter
If you’re craving extra moisture, now’s the perfect time to mix in that tablespoon of olive oil. Fold it into the batter just until combined, avoiding overmixing so the bread bakes up light instead of heavy.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top for even baking. Pop it into the oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the crust is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Step 6: Cool & Slice
Let your Zero Carb Yogurt Bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This extra step keeps the bread from getting soggy. Once fully cooled, slice and serve — the aroma alone will have you eager for that first taste.
How to Serve Zero Carb Yogurt Bread
Garnishes
Dress up each slice with a light spread of creamy salted butter, a sprinkle of toasted seeds, or a few fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Even a simple dusting of sea salt can make the flavors sing.
Side Dishes
This bread loves company! Pair it with scrambled eggs and avocado for breakfast, or alongside a hearty bowl of soup or salad. For a Mediterranean twist, try it with cucumber, tomato, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Creative Ways to Present
Spread with your favorite keto-friendly hummus or nut butter, use it as a base for open-faced sandwiches, or cut into cubes for crunchy, low-carb croutons. Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is sturdy enough for toasting but tender enough for snacking right out of the oven.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Once cooled, wrap your Zero Carb Yogurt Bread in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the fridge. This keeps it fresh and moist for up to one week, ready for quick meals or snacks at any time.
Freezing
Want to make a batch ahead? Slice the loaf and freeze between sheets of parchment paper in a sealable bag. You can then pull out individual slices as needed — they defrost quickly at room temperature or with a quick pop in the toaster.
Reheating
To bring out the best texture and a bit of that just-baked magic, toast a slice in the toaster or a hot skillet. Warming it up revives both the smell and the subtle nutty taste that makes Zero Carb Yogurt Bread irresistible.
FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is preferred because it’s thick, strained, and low in carbs, which produces the best bread texture. Regular yogurt is thinner and may make the loaf too moist, but you can experiment with it if you strain off excess liquid first.
Is xanthan gum necessary in this recipe?
No, the bread will still work without xanthan gum, but adding it gives a firmer, chewier texture similar to wheat bread, especially handy for sandwiches or toasting. Omit if you don’t have any; the loaf will still be delicious!
What size loaf pan should I use for Zero Carb Yogurt Bread?
A standard 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan works perfectly. If you use a larger pan, the bread will be a bit shorter, but just as tasty. Adjust the baking time slightly if you use a different size.
Can I add flavors like herbs, spices, or cheese to the bread?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in a handful of shredded cheese, herbs, or even spices like garlic powder for extra flavor. Just be sure additions are low-carb to keep the recipe truly zero-carb friendly.
My bread turned out flat. What went wrong?
Be sure to use fresh baking powder, measure your ingredients carefully, and avoid overmixing. Also, make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking. These steps help Zero Carb Yogurt Bread rise beautifully every time.
