Delicious Gluten-free Complete Protein Bread

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.
