Here’s a recipe for a Turkish-style bread that’s flourless, low-carb, and designed to be light and easy to make, suitable for people looking for a healthier, “drying” option:
Flourless Turkish-Style Bread
A soft, low-carb bread that can be enjoyed freely and is quick to prepare. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or with soups and stews.
Ingredients (Makes 4–6 servings)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional, for texture)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: sesame seeds or nigella seeds for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs until light and frothy.
- Add Greek yogurt and a pinch of salt, mixing until smooth.

3. Shape the Bread
- Pour the batter onto the prepared tray and shape into a flat, oval loaf or smaller rounds.

4. Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Tips for Best Results
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture.
- This bread is naturally moist, so store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can toast slices for extra crispiness.
- Add herbs like oregano or thyme for extra flavor.
Benefits
- Flourless & low-carb: Suitable for those reducing flour or sugar intake.
