Ingredients
For the Bread:
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
4 large eggs, separated
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp cream of tartar
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (optional, for structure)
Nonstick spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
Optional Add-ins:
1 tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
¼ cup shredded cheese (for a savory twist)
1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed meal
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven & Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Separate the Eggs
Carefully separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
Add cream of tartar to the whites.
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
Using a hand or stand mixer, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
This step helps create the fluffiness in the bread.
Step 4: Mix the Yolks & Yogurt
In the bowl with yolks, add Greek yogurt, baking soda, baking powder, salt, apple cider vinegar, and psyllium husk powder if using.
Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 5: Fold the Mixtures Together
Gently fold the yogurt-yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula.
Do this in parts to keep the volume and avoid deflating the egg whites.
Fold just until combined—do not overmix.
Step 6: Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool & Slice
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
This helps set the structure and prevents crumbling.
Notes
Whip Well – Egg whites must be stiff to achieve fluffiness.
Use Full-Fat Yogurt – Adds richness and moisture.
Let Cool Fully – Warm bread may crumble if sliced too soon.
Add Structure – Psyllium husk helps bind and improves sliceability.
Avoid Overmixing – Gentle folding preserves the airy texture.
