INGREDIENTS

  • 150g vital wheat gluten
  • 80g oat fiber
  • 50g flaxseed meal
  • 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
  • 240ml warm water
  • 30ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the vital wheat gluten, oat fiber, flaxseed meal, and salt.

3

Mix Dough

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

4

Knead

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes elastic.

5

Rise and Bake

Place the dough in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.

6

Cool

Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

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.
