Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 225g, unsweetened, high protein (0-2% fat)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour 120g

Equipment

  • Small loaf pan (8×4 inches)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a small loaf pan (8×4 inches) by lining it with parchment paper or spraying lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (225g) of plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup (120g) of self-rising flour. Mix with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Lightly dust your hands and work surface with a bit of flour, then knead the dough for about a minute until it becomes smooth and less sticky.
  4. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your spatula for an even bake.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, slice and enjoy.

Notes

This protein bread is highly adaptable. For a dairy-free version, try substituting coconut yogurt, or if you need it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend with baking powder. Feel free to experiment with add-ins like herbs, garlic, cheese, seeds, or even a touch of honey and lemon zest to create a sweet twist. Enjoy it toasted with avocado and egg for breakfast, as a sandwich base for lunch, or alongside soups and stews for dinner.
