Whey bread is bread made with whey—the liquid left after making cheese or straining yogurt—in place of some or all of the water. The whey can give the loaf a mild dairy flavor and a softer crumb, depending on the recipe.
To make whey bread, mix flour, yeast, salt, and whey into a dough, let it rise, shape it, and bake it. Add the liquid gradually because different flours absorb different amounts, and use whey that is not overly salty.
Yes, you can replace the water with whey in most whey bread recipes. If your whey is salty, reduce the recipe’s added salt; if the dough feels too stiff, add a little water until it is workable.
Yes, you can make whey bread in a bread machine. Add the ingredients in the order your machine recommends, and watch the dough during the first mixing cycle; whey may make the dough feel different from a water-based loaf.
Yes, whey bread can be made with the liquid drained from yogurt. That whey is usually more acidic than cheese whey, so the loaf may taste slightly tangier and the dough may rise differently; use fresh, unsalted whey for the mildest result.
Whey bread can brown faster because whey contains lactose and proteins that encourage browning in the oven. If the crust darkens before the loaf is baked through, lower the oven temperature slightly or cover the top loosely with foil.
Yes, you can make a quick whey bread without yeast by using baking powder or baking soda with an acidic whey. It will have a denser, more biscuit-like crumb than a yeast-risen loaf, so it is not a one-to-one texture replacement.
Whey bread is usually mild, not strongly sour. Bread made with whey from strained yogurt can have a gentle tang, while fresh cheese whey tends to give a less pronounced flavor.
Store whey bread once it has cooled completely, wrapped or in a bread box at room temperature. Refrigeration can make bread go stale faster; discard the loaf if you see mold rather than removing only the affected slice.
Yes, whey bread freezes well. Slice it after it cools, seal the slices in a freezer-safe bag, and take out only what you need; individual slices can go straight into a toaster.

Whey bread is made with whey—the liquid left after milk is curdled for cheesemaking—in place of some or all of the water in the dough. Recipes vary, and the whey can give the loaf a tender crumb and a faintly milky tang. It is a style of bread rather than a single regional speciality.
In places where it is baked, it is served much like other everyday loaves: sliced for toast, sandwiches or alongside soup. It works well with savoury fillings, but its mild flavour also suits jam or butter. The bread is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with a moderate amount of protein: a 100 g portion provides 9.4 g. For a lighter meal, pair a slice with vegetables and a modest portion of a filling.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
