Gluten-free protein bread? This is a true challenge. Gluten gives bread its typical texture and holds it together. In addition to that in protein breads gluten is a major source of protein. So, what to do when you want to bake a gluten-free protein bread?
Check the recipe below! I use a mixture of legume and grain protein for a balanced amino acid profile. For the structural function of gluten, I use flax meal, xanthan gum and guar gum. In addition to that, flax meal is a great omega-3 fatty acid source that enhances the nutrient profile of the high-protein gluten-free bread.

50 g pea protein

Transfer the dough into an English cake/ bread baking pan lined with baking paper. Let the baking paper ends stand up.
Put a clean towel on standing up baking paper ends and let the bread raise for about 30 min in a warm place.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 C for about 40 min. Check on the bread after 15-20 min. If it starts turning dark, cover it with aluminium paper.
