Protein bread is a healthy and satiating alternative to traditional bread, ideal for those looking to increase their protein intake without giving up the pleasure of eating bread. This recipe, made with whole spelt flour and fresh skimmed cheese (or natural yogurt), offers a fluffy texture and a mild flavor that pairs perfectly with any accompaniment.
Fresh skimmed cheese provides a significant amount of protein and moisture, allowing you to reduce the amount of flour and obtain a more nutritious bread. Whole spelt flour, rich in fiber and minerals, contributes to the feeling of fullness and is easier to digest than refined wheat flour.
You can shape it as a traditional boule or a bagel, and cook it in a pan, oven, or air fryer. It is perfect for a quick dinner after work, for breakfast with avocado, or to accompany soups and salads. Additionally, you can add seeds (like chia, flax, or sesame) to the dough for a crunchy touch and extra nutrients.
