🍞 Carnivore Yogurt Bread
📖 Description
This Carnivore Yogurt Bread is soft, slightly tangy, and wonderfully satisfying—without grains or carbs. Made from eggs, yogurt, and a touch of cheese, it bakes up into a fluffy, bread-like loaf that works beautifully for sandwiches, toast, or as a side with soups and stews. A great way to enjoy “bread” while staying fully carnivore!

❓ Q&A
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Not strictly carnivore—since dairy is key here. But you can swap yogurt for extra eggs and omit cheese (texture will be denser).
Q: Can I make this fluffier?
A: Yes! Separate eggs, whip the whites until stiff peaks, and fold them in for extra rise.
Q: Can I use flavored yogurt?
A: Stick with plain, unsweetened yogurt—flavored ones add sugar and carbs.
Q: Can I toast this bread?
A: Absolutely! Toasting enhances flavor and gives it more of a “real bread” feel.
