INSTRUCTIONS

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

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.
