Gather Your Ingredients

• Large eggs: Provide the structure and create a fluffy yet sturdy loaf Select the freshest eggs you can
• Full-fat Greek yogurt: Gives moisture and tang choose unsweetened and plain for cleanest results
• Baking powder: Helps the bread rise opt for aluminum-free for the cleanest flavor
• Melted butter or coconut oil: Adds richness use high-quality butter or virgin coconut oil
• Salt: Boosts flavor opt for fine sea salt for an even mix
• Xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder: Ensures the bread has the right texture and structure these binders make a big difference
• Finely ground almond flour (optional): Adds stability to the loaf without boosting carbs too much look for ultra-fine flour

How to Make It

Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Pan:

Set your oven to 350°F or 175°C Begin by lining your loaf pan with parchment paper or thoroughly greasing it This step helps the loaf release easily once baked so you do not lose any crumbs

Whisk Together the Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl crack all six eggs then add the Greek yogurt and the melted butter or coconut oil Whisk these together until the mixture looks even creamy and glossy This step is important for a uniform bread texture

Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:

Add baking powder salt and your choice of xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder If using almond flour add it now too Stir gently but thoroughly until no lumps remain and the batter looks slightly thickened

Pour and Smooth the Batter:

Transfer the batter to your lined loaf pan Use a spatula to spread and smooth the top so the loaf bakes evenly Even leveling ensures the bread rises in a uniform way

Bake to Perfection:

Place the pan on the middle rack of your preheated oven Bake for 35 to 45 minutes The top will become golden When a toothpick inserted into the center pulls out clean your bread is ready

Let it Cool Completely:

Once baked let the bread sit in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack Allow it to cool fully before slicing Cutting too soon can cause crumbling waiting helps it set perfectly

My favorite ingredient is Greek yogurt because it adds subtle tang and moist texture Recently my daughter helped stir the batter and surprised me with a pinch of rosemary turning an ordinary loaf into something special

Flavor Boosters

After cooling completely store the bread in an airtight container in your fridge It keeps best this way for four to five days For longer storage slice first then freeze individual pieces so you can toast them directly from the freezer The bread holds its structure and does not get soggy after reheating

Serving Suggestions

This bread shines when toasted Try it with a smear of cream cheese or nut butter for breakfast Use it for sandwiches to keep lunch exciting while sticking to your carb goals For a savory twist sprinkle the top with sesame seeds before baking or fold in fresh herbs like chives or dill for a burst of flavor

Creative Twists

During fall fold in a shake of pumpkin spice or cinnamon to make a sweeter loaf In spring fresh chopped basil or thyme brings extra lift and flavor Experiment with what is in season for endless variety

Try customizing with your favorite spices or seeds each batch can taste completely different and you will never get bored
