High-Protein Mediterranean Diet Bread Recipe Is Nutritious & Delicious (7 Ingredients) Mediterranean Diet Recipes High Protein Recipes Low Carb Recipes Bread/Muffins Side Dishes Gluten-free Low Sugar Recipes Budget Recipes

The words "bread" and "diet" don't often go together – but with the right ingredients, they can. If you want to have your bread and eat it, too, then here's a healthier bread recipe for you. This high-protein Mediterranean bread recipe is as nutritious as it is delicious, making it a nice addition to a healthier Mediterranean diet.

This light and fluffy bread is made with almond flour, so it's naturally gluten-free. Almond flour has a slightly sweet, deliciously nutty flavor. It's a good source of plant-based protein and antioxidants, along with the many other health benefits of almond flour (it may help control cholesterol, for example). The soft and savory bread recipe includes eggs and Greek yogurt for added protein. The olive oil and apple cider vinegar give it a uniquely Mediterranean flavor. Combined, the wholesome ingredients create a nutritious and delicious bread loaf that you'll want to enjoy all day long – for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack or dinner.

This simple bread recipe requires just a few minutes of prep (only one bowl!), then it bakes up into a lovely loaf that you'll want in your kitchen all the time. To make this Mediterranean-inspired bread recipe, you'll need to gather the following gluten-free ingredients: eggs, extra virgin olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, almond flour, baking powder and salt. You mix up the ingredients then bake the loaf until it's fragrant and golden brown.

Serve this nourishing Mediterranean bread toasted for breakfast, with a salad for lunch, or as a versatile side dish with just about any dinner. We enjoyed it toasted with butter alongside a dense bean salad. Simply delicious!

Cuisine: Mediterranean 
Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Cook Time: 30 to 35 minutes (ovens vary) 
Total Time: 40 to 45 minutes 
Servings: 10

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, beaten 
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 
• 1 1/4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, olive oil, Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar. Whisk to combine.
2. Add the almond flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Evenly spread the batter into an 8x4-inch loaf pan that's been lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake in an oven that's been preheated to 350 degrees F until bread is cooked through and golden (it should pass the toothpick test), about 30 to 35 minutes. (If the loaf is getting too brown on top, you can cover it with aluminum foil.)
5. Allow loaf to cool in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
6. Store the bread in an airtight container (in the refrigerator lasts longer). This bread is extra delicious when toasted.
