CHEESE AND CHIVE PROTEIN BREAD

This savory and cheesy bread with fresh chives offers a satisfying combination of flavors and textures that will elevate any meal. Packed with 24 grams of protein per serving, it's an excellent choice for supporting muscle recovery and keeping you energized throughout the day. The bread boasts a tender, moist crumb with a golden, slightly crispy crust, while the melty cheese and fragrant chives provide bursts of savory richness with every bite. Its robust flavor makes it perfect for enjoying alongside salads, soups, or as a standalone snack after a workout to replenish your energy levels. Whether you're meal prepping for the week or looking for a high-protein option to satisfy your cravings, this bread fits seamlessly into a balanced diet—it's naturally gluten-free if you opt for a gluten-free flour blend, and vegan versions can be created with plant-based cheese and egg substitutes. For best results, use fresh chives and ensure your cheese is well incorporated to achieve an even distribution of flavor. Serve it warm for maximum gooeyness or let it cool for a firmer texture—either way, it’s sure to become a favorite in your healthy recipe repertoire.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Slice is too dry

Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.

Not rising properly

Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.

Gummy texture in center

This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Too dense

Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
