01 - 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt

→ The Leavening Foundation

02 - 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

→ Savory Flavor Boosters

03 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
04 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
05 - 1/4 tsp dried oregano
06 - 1/4 tsp dried basil
07 - 1/2 tsp salt
08 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ Optional Golden Finish

09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1 tbsp water
11 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds
12 - 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup for your High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread for Healthy Meals.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt and 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour. Mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then use your hands to bring it together.
03 - Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the dough. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread for Healthy Meals.
04 - Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly, then shape it into a round loaf or divide into 4 smaller rolls. Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush this egg wash generously over the top of your High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread for Healthy Meals. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and/or 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning, if desired.
06 - Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
07 - Remove the High Protein 2-Ingredient Bread for Healthy Meals from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the internal structure to set.

# Notes:

01 - No self-rising flour? Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt for a quick substitute.
02 - This versatile bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side with soups and salads. Try it with avocado, hummus, or your favorite lean protein.
03 - Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently in a toaster or oven.
04 - Feel free to customize the savory boosters! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, or swap dried herbs for fresh ones (use 3x the amount of fresh herbs).
