Getting Started

When using protein powders, opt for isolates (whey, casein) or unflavored varieties to avoid artificial aftertastes. Protein powders can absorb liquid differently; adjust moisture content (eggs, yogurt) as needed to achieve a batter consistency.
Bake protein breads at a slightly lower temperature (160-175°C) for a longer duration than traditional breads. This prevents the exterior from browning too quickly while ensuring the dense interior cooks through, typically 40-60 minutes depending on loaf size.
Many high protein flours (almond, coconut, lupin) lack gluten for structure. Incorporate psyllium husk powder or vital wheat gluten (if not gluten-free) at 1-2 tablespoons per cup of flour to improve texture and prevent crumbling.
To achieve a lighter crumb, separate eggs and whip egg whites to stiff peaks before gently folding them into the batter. This introduces air, counteracting the density often associated with high protein ingredients.
