Zero Carb Yogurt Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat for best results)
• 4 large eggs, divided
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Optional Add-Ins:
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning for savory flair
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan (about 6×3 inches) with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter or oil.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until fully melted and smooth.
3. To the melted cheese, add the Greek yogurt and 3 of the eggs. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
4. Sprinkle the baking powder (and optional seasonings) over the dough and mix until well combined.
5. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly with a spatula or your hands to form a smooth surface.

Popular Questions:

A: While mozzarella and cheddar are recommended for best results, you can experiment with other cheeses for different flavors.

• Q: How long does this bread last?

A: Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

• Q: Can I freeze this bread?

A: Yes, you can freeze slices of this bread in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

• Q: Can I add nuts or seeds to the dough?

A: Feel free to mix in nuts or seeds for added crunch and flavor. Just be mindful of the carb content if you’re aiming for a zero-carb bread.
