…Infinite Life Fitness Recipe: Protein Bread…
If any of you are like me…you may LOVE to eat bread and bread like products. Bread is my one weakness so once you find out the nutritional value (or the lack of nutrition) that is found in your favorite bread, it makes you cringe just thinking about indulging in more than one service size. I had to find an alternative to help satisfy my bread craving as well as fit into my macronutrients.
What you will need:
- 1 pack of baking bread yeast (NOT the quick rise yeast, just the regular yeast)
- 2 cups of wheat flour
- 1 cup (84 g) of vanilla Protein (I used 1st Phorms Vanilla Ice Cream Protein. You can use other brands but i have found this brand to work the best for me when it comes to baking and cooking with it)
- 1 tablespoon of wheat gluten
- 1 tablespoon of dry milk
- dash of salt
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey (you can also use maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar. YOU NEED regular sugar to help feed the yeast. It is NOT advised that you use artificial sweetener for this recipe)
- 1 1/2 cup of water
- Bread making machine or bread pan
What you will do:
- the type of bread machine that I have and use is an Oyster 2lb express bread maker
- Add all of the wet ingredients first!!
- You will then add together all of the dry ingredients
- You will make a small well in the middle of the mixture and then add the yeast (look at picture 1)
- For my settings i chose: 1.5 lb loaf & light crust.
- I pressed the start button and just let it sit!
- My bread maker kneaded the dough and baked it. Once the bread was ready the machine cut off automatically.
- I let the bread cool and then removed it from the pan and cut it up into my desired sizes.
You are more than welcome to play around with this recipe. This is just how i learned how to make mine and it seems to work very well. My bread is very dense yet flaky. It is very filling for me and a great snack to grab when you are on the go!
