Description
A nutritious high protein bread perfect for those looking to boost their protein intake while enjoying a hearty loaf.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup filtered water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough begins to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover with a towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Once rested, bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Substitute flaxseed meal mixed with water for eggs for a vegan version.
