Ingredients You’ll Need
The beauty of Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is how it brings together a handful of wholesome, flavorful ingredients. Each one has a purpose—whether for softness, rise, or that craveable, bready texture—so don’t skip the details below!
- Plain Unsweetened Greek Yogurt (1 cup): Adds essential moisture, tang, and protein, recreating the tenderness of classic bread.
- Large Eggs (4): These help the loaf rise and bind it all together, lending an airy crumb.
- Almond Flour (1 cup): Provides richness and a nutty base without any grains or gluten.
- Coconut Flour (1/4 cup): Soaks up extra moisture and lends the bread structure—just a bit goes a long way!
- Baking Powder (1 tablespoon): Makes your bread light and fluffy, so it never turns out dense.
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Brings all the flavors into balance and keeps the bread from tasting flat.
- Xanthan Gum (1/2 teaspoon, optional): Helps create that classic bready chew; skip if you are out, but it helps the structure.
- Garlic Powder or Dried Herbs (1/2 teaspoon, optional): Personalize your loaf with a dash of savory flavor—think Italian herbs, dill, or chives!
- Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese (1/4 cup, optional): Adds stretch, moisture, and a little extra decadence.
How to Make Zero Carb Yogurt Bread
Step 1: Prep Your Pan and Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or give it a generous greasing. This will make it so much easier to lift the finished loaf out in one satisfying piece.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no streaks of yolk left. This is the foundation for your batter and helps ensure your Zero Carb Yogurt Bread will be soft and tender.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum if you’re using it. Give everything a thorough mix to distribute the leavening and prevent any pockets of flour in your final loaf.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
Add the dry ingredients directly into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until everything is just combined. Fold in the shredded cheese and any herbs or spices if you’d like an extra boost of flavor. Don’t overmix—just until the mixture comes together.
Step 5: Fill the Pan and Bake
Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Pop it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top turns golden and an inserted toothpick emerges clean. Your kitchen will smell absolutely heavenly!
Step 6: Cool and Slice
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then lift it out and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This last step allows the crumb to firm up, giving you perfect slices every time. Now your Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is ready for any occasion!
