Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder
- Optional: ½ cup finely ground almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, full-fat Greek yogurt, and melted butter or coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a consistent texture in the batter.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder into the wet mixture. If you choose to use almond flour, add it now. Stir until the batter is thoroughly combined and slightly thickened.
- Pour and Smooth the Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased or parchment-lined loaf pan. Use a spatula to level and smooth the top evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The bread is ready when the top turns a golden color and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps the structure set and prevents the bread from crumbling when sliced.
Notes
- Using aluminum-free baking powder is preferable to avoid metallic taste and for healthier baking.
- Xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder helps mimic the texture and structure of traditional bread.
- Including almond flour is optional but adds extra structure without significantly increasing carbs.
- Make sure the bread cools completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
- This bread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
