Get Ready to Cook!
You are only a few simple steps away from a warm, fresh loaf of gluten-free Zero Carb Yogurt Bread.
What to Expect
Time: About 50 minutes from start to finish.
Difficulty: Extremely easy! A perfect recipe for all baking levels.
Before You Begin
The key to a great texture is using full-fat, plain Greek yogurt. It adds necessary moisture and structure without adding carbs.
The xanthan gum (or psyllium husk) is a magical ingredient here. It acts as a binder, mimicking the structure of gluten and preventing the bread from being crumbly. Do not skip it!
Most importantly, you must let this Zero Carb Yogurt Bread cool completely before slicing. This is a critical step that allows the loaf to set, ensuring perfect, sturdy slices.
The Heart of the Dish: Ingredients You’ll Need
Here are the simple ingredients for your revolutionary gluten-free Zero Carb Yogurt Bread.
| Ingredient | Amount |
| Large Eggs | 6 |
| Full-Fat Greek Yogurt (plain, unsweetened) | ½ cup |
| Melted Butter or Coconut Oil | ¼ cup |
| Baking Powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | ¼ teaspoon |
| Xanthan Gum or Psyllium Husk Powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Finely Ground Almond Flour (Optional) | ½ cup |
Let’s Get Cooking! Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these instructions to bake a perfect loaf of Zero Carb Yogurt Bread.
1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan:
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easy to lift out later.
2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, add the eggs, Greek yogurt, and melted butter. Whisk them together vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and uniform.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
Sprinkle the baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum over the wet ingredients. If you’re using the optional almond flour for extra structure, add it now. Mix everything together just until the batter is well-combined.
4. Pour and Smooth the Batter:
Carefully pour the finished batter into your prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to gently smooth the top into an even layer.
5. Bake to a Golden Brown:
Place the pan in the center of your preheated oven. Bake for 35–45 minutes. Your Zero Carb Yogurt Bread is done when the top is a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the very center comes out clean.
6. Cool Completely Before Slicing:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper handles to lift it out and place it on a wire rack. Let it cool completely to room temperature before slicing. This is the most important step for a perfect texture!
Mastering the Dish: Pointers for Perfection & How to Store
Make your gluten-free Zero Carb Yogurt Bread perfect every time with these extra tips.
Customize Your Loaf: Feel free to add a tablespoon of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or dried herbs like rosemary to the batter for a savory twist.
Storage and Reheating: This bread is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because of its high moisture content, it tastes best when you toast the slices before serving. A quick trip to the toaster brings the texture back to life beautifully.

Your Burning Questions Answered!
Here are some common questions about this unique type of bread.
1. Is there a bread that has no carbs in it?
While a few commercial products get close, it’s very rare for a baked good to have literally zero carbohydrates. This Zero Carb Yogurt Bread has exceptionally low, trace amounts of carbs coming from the eggs and yogurt, resulting in less than 1 gram of net carbs per slice, which is ideal for a ketogenic diet.
2. Is zero-carb bread really zero-carb?
The term “zero-carb” is often used to describe products that are extremely low in carbohydrates. True zero-carb is nearly impossible, as most ingredients contain trace amounts. This recipe is designed to have a negligible amount of net carbs, making it one of the closest homemade options you can find to a true Zero Carb Yogurt Bread.
3. What yogurt has no carbs?
No yogurt is completely free of carbohydrates, but full-fat, plain Greek yogurt has the lowest carb count. The straining process removes most of the whey and lactose (the sugar in milk), making it thick, creamy, and very keto-friendly.
