There’s something so appealing about making a loaf of bread with vegetables and whey protein. It seems like a real culinary challenge: just how much goodness can we cram into one loaf of bread? To leave out any carbs, starches or any grains whatsoever makes the challenge all the more satisfying.
Well I hope you like my take on this fascinating loaf category anyway, I’ve found it holds its own quite nicely. Try a slice or two toasted with butter and you’ll be a convert, I’m certain of it. Rich, delicious and nutritious...what's not to like about that :-)
Directions
- Heat the oven to 190C
- Mix almond flour with protein, seeds, baking powder, salt.
- Then add olives, tomatoes, vegetables, cheese, eggs and mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add butter, cut into small cubes and mix in without melting the butter pieces.
- Pour the mixture into a baking try lined with baking paper and bake for around 40 minutes.
- When the bread is cooked through, let it cool down for at least 15 minutes (or completely), so it's easier to slice.
