FAQs

Can I use low-fat yogurt instead of full-fat?

Yes, but full-fat yogurt gives the best texture and flavor. Low-fat may result in a slightly drier bread.

Is this bread really zero carb?

It contains nearly zero net carbs per serving, depending on the specific brands used. Always check nutrition labels.

Can I substitute sour cream for the yogurt?

Yes, sour cream can be used in place of Greek yogurt and yields a similar result.

Does the bread taste like eggs?

The yogurt balances the eggs, so the bread has a mild and pleasant flavor.

Can I use baking soda instead of baking powder?

Baking powder is preferred, but you can substitute with baking soda plus a small amount of acid like lemon juice or vinegar.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, just use a larger loaf pan and extend the baking time by 5–10 minutes.

What pan size is best?

An 8×4-inch loaf pan works well. A 9×5-inch pan may produce a shorter loaf.

How do I make it dairy-free?

Use a dairy-free Greek-style yogurt, but note the final texture may be softer.

Can I toast this bread?

Yes, it toasts beautifully and holds up well for spreads or sandwiches.

Is this bread gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe contains no flour or gluten ingredients.
