This Zero Carb Yogurt Bread works perfectly as a base for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed with a pat of butter.

Meanwhile, it holds up well for French toast alternatives or as a base for avocado toast. Besides that, it freezes beautifully, so you can make a batch and have bread ready whenever cravings strike.

Ingredients for Zero Carb Yogurt Bread
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
How to Make Zero Carb Yogurt Bread
Step-by-Step Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Then, thoroughly grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking. Subsequently, I recommend using a smaller loaf pan (around 8×4 inches) for a better rise.
- In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Next, crack in the two eggs. After that, measure in the baking powder and salt. Then, whisk everything together until completely smooth. Furthermore, make sure no yogurt lumps remain for the best texture.
- Carefully pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Next, smooth the top with a spatula. Meanwhile, you can sprinkle the top with seeds like sesame or flax for extra nutrition and texture if desired.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Then, bake for 25-30 minutes until the top turns a beautiful golden brown. Moreover, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean when the bread is done. Meanwhile, the bread may slightly pull away from the sides of the pan when ready.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Subsequently, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Additionally, this cooling period is crucial as the texture improves as it cools.
- After cooling, slice the bread with a sharp knife. Consequently, you’ll get about 8-10 slices depending on your preferred thickness.
Quick and Easy
This recipe requires minimal prep work—just mix and bake! Furthermore, you’ll have fresh bread ready in about 35 minutes total. Additionally, there’s no need for kneading or waiting for dough to rise. Meanwhile, cleanup is a breeze with just one mixing bowl and a loaf pan to wash. Besides that, the simplicity makes it perfect for beginners or busy weeknights.
Customizable
While the basic recipe is delicious, you can customize it endlessly. Subsequently, add cheese, herbs, or spices to match your meal. Moreover, fold in sun-dried tomatoes and basil for an Italian twist. Then, try cheddar and jalapeños for a spicy kick. Additionally, a touch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning creates perfect garlic bread. Meanwhile, sweet versions with cinnamon and sugar substitute work beautifully too.
Crowd-Pleasing
Even friends and family who aren’t watching carbs love this bread! Consequently, it’s become my go-to for gatherings. Furthermore, its neutral flavor makes it compatible with numerous toppings and fillings. Besides that, the texture is remarkably similar to traditional quick bread. Moreover, no one believes it contains just four ingredients. Then, watch as everyone asks for the recipe after trying it!

FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
No, unfortunately regular yogurt contains too much moisture. Therefore, Greek yogurt is essential because of its thicker consistency. Consequently, using regular yogurt would result in a soggy bread. However, if you only have regular yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth for several hours first. Moreover, full-fat Greek yogurt produces the best results and flavor.
How should I store this bread?
This bread stays fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Furthermore, you can freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Subsequently, when ready to eat, toast frozen slices directly from the freezer. Meanwhile, refrigeration is recommended due to the high protein content. Additionally, bringing slices to room temperature before eating improves flavor.
Can I make this bread dairy-free?
While I haven’t personally tested dairy-free alternatives, some readers have reported success using coconut yogurt. However, the texture may differ slightly. Furthermore, ensure whatever substitute you use has a thick, Greek yogurt-like consistency. Then, you might need to adjust baking time accordingly. Additionally, dairy-free versions tend to be more delicate, so handle with care.
