INSTRUCTIONS
Mix ground flaxseed with water and let sit for 5 minutes until gel-like.
Warm the oat milk to 110°F (43°C), add maple syrup and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Combine oat flour, protein powder, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, flax eggs, and melted coconut oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes until doubled in size.
Transfer to a greased loaf pan, let rise another 20 minutes. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 45-50 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My breads are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
