Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) plain Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
Supplementary Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Leavening:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a small loaf pan with parchment paper or applying a light butter coating.
- Utilize a microwave-safe container to transform shredded mozzarella into a smooth, fully melted consistency, stirring midway through the 30-60 second heating process.
- Combine the molten cheese with Greek yogurt and three eggs, creating a cohesive, sticky dough. Incorporate baking powder and optional seasonings, ensuring thorough integration.
- Carefully transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula or hands to distribute evenly and create a uniform surface.
- Whisk the remaining egg and delicately brush across the dough’s surface to achieve a lustrous, golden exterior during baking.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the top transforms to a rich golden hue and a toothpick emerges clean when inserted centrally.
- Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transition to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Slice the bread into thin portions, serving plain or enhanced with toppings like butter, avocado, or cream cheese.
Notes
- Melt mozzarella slowly and carefully to prevent burning, ensuring a smooth, consistent texture for the bread’s foundation.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly into melted cheese and yogurt to create a uniform, well-blended dough without lumps.
- Greek yogurt provides moisture while keeping the bread low-carb, so avoid using watery yogurt varieties that might compromise the bread’s structure.
- Experiment with herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder to enhance the bread’s flavor profile without adding significant carbohydrates.
