Bread Recipes With Protein Powder

Protein bread you guys. 4 ingredients, low carb, and wait for it… just 252 calories and 50 grams of protein for the ENTIRE 10-inch Subway-style roll. It tastes, rips, grills and toasts just like “real” bread too! Super anabolic french toast, anyone?

Remember these 29 calorie brownies I was raving about last time? The creator herself (@lowcalrecipes89 on Instagram) sure did because she messaged me a few days ago and gave it her stamp of approval! Isn’t that crazy or what?

Protein

Boo also recommended that I make her Magic Protein Bread, a fan-favourite recipe among many of her famous anabolic creations. It’s funny because the protein bread recipe had actually been sitting in my Instagram “Saved” section for months now, but the use of psyllium husk kept me at bay. Partly because psyllium isn’t a common (or cheap!) ingredient here in Beijing, but mostly because it was a foreign ingredient that in all honesty, intimidated me! Cooking is an art, and baking, a science. Throw in low carb and high protein into the mix? More like an extreme sport! No eyeballing in this territory folks! At least not for me yet đŸ˜‚

Nonetheless, with two bags of coconut flour on the brink of expiration, Boo’s words of encouragement and a growing curiosity towards low-carb baking, I took the plunge and bought some psyllium…which brings us here today! I mean, if not now, then when?

Don’t be deceived by its fluffy appearance – the texture of this protein bread is way more similar to “real bread” than its sorry excuse of a cousin (i.e. cloud bread). Just stating the truth heređŸ¤·‍♀️

Okay, before I keep rambling on, let’s talk ingredients. The base recipe for Boo’s Magic Protein Bread only calls for 4 ingredients, but there are many alternatives that work great too – check ’em out!

As mentioned, baking is a science. You might be able to get away with eyeballing when baking cakes and cookies, but just like making yeasted bread, it is ideal to measure ingredients by scale weight when baking protein bread. For example – the egg whites from 6 eggs where I’m from yielded 218g of egg whites, whereas Boo needed 7 eggs to hit 210g. Moral of this paragraph: invest in that kitchen scale! (Less dishwashing and greater accuracy y’all!)

#1 Egg Whites (210g, from approx. 6 to 7 whole eggs) – for protein and structure#2 Cream of tartar (1-2g) – as a protein stabiliser

Cream of tartar serves as an acidic component in recipes that helps stabilise whipped egg whites. in simple terms, cream of tartar increases the warmth tolerance and volume of egg whites (prevents deflation by maintaining bubbles of air).

Redditors have observed that using protein powder gives a better rise (less deflation) but poorer texture and flavour compared to regular flour.

As per Boo, psyllium is “super important” in the recipe as it is what lends this bread its… well, “bready” texture! However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any substitutes đŸ™‚

*optional, but recommended – I didn’t have this on hand but if you do please do! It gives better structure and rise/height.This is a 3-ingredient recipe for a Basic Protein Bread that is grain-free, gluten-free, high-protein, and low-carb (1g net carb per ⅛ loaf!). I'm calling it basic protein bread because that's exactly what it is. On its own you can taste the pea protein a bit, but when you use it for a tasty sandwich you won't even notice it.

I created this recipe when I was working on my Protein Croutons. I wanted a simple protein bread, and that's exactly what this is!

It is pretty amazing to me, still, that the texture is so similar to that of real bread. This would also be a perfect bread to accompany your salad and soak up the extra Italian dressing! :)

Whatever you do, DO NOT substitute whey protein for the pea protein . The two types of protein powder bake very differently, and one cannot be substituted for the other. Use unflavored pea protein only.

If you don't mind cracking eggs and tossing the yolks, I suggest using fresh egg whites. The texture of the bread will be a bit lighter and less dense. But if you do use liquid egg whites, be sure to measure 528g (don't use 16x the 3 tablespoon serving they put on the carton). One large egg white is 33g, so 16 egg whites would be 528g.

I used a 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan . If you use a larger pan, your loaf will be shorter. If you don't want to invest in a loaf pan of this size, the disposable aluminum loaf pans they sell in the supermarket tend to be ~8x4, which would also work well here. If you use a silicone loaf pan , the bake time might be slightly longer.

I also suggest using an oven thermometer so you can see when your oven is actually preheated, and that it is to the right temperature.

No Yolking™ Egg White Protein Bread

Of course, you're also going to need a mixing bowl. I love this mixing bowl set from Target because it is super easy to clean, dries quickly, and the bowls have rubber on the bottom so they don't slide.

I suggest storing this bread in the refrigerator or freezer. If freezing, I like to slice the bread, separate slices with parchment paper, and remove slices from the freezer as needed.

Only 3 ingredients in this keto-friendly bread recipe (1g net carbs in ⅛ loaf!). It's a basic protein bread made *without* almond flour.

Protein Powder As A Flour Substitute

Whatever you do,  DO NOT substitute whey protein for the pea protein . The two types of protein powder bake very differently, and one cannot be substituted for the other. Use unflavored pea protein only.

It’s just as soft and fluffy as a store-bought white bread or whole wheat bread. This flourless bread is a great choice if you want to freshen up your healthy eating — or if you get tired of protein shakes, baked chicken breasts, and Greek yogurt all the time.

Vegan Keto Bread Recipe

When I made flourless waffles years ago, I discovered that combining eggs and almond butter creates a texture that is surprisingly bread-like! So, I tested out the same concept in a grain-free bread loaf. It wasn’t enough structure on its own and my first few attempts collapsed, but when I experimented with adding protein powder, I finally achieved a tall, airy loaf with the perfect amount of chewiness.

While flourless bread recipes are often favored by people who are gluten-free or following a low carb diet, this protein bread is also a great healthier alternative to traditional bread — even if your daily diet doesn’t have any restrictions.

These protein-rich ingredients add a nutty flavor and texture, and they would also boost the protein content of your bread even more. Try sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, or chopped pecans. Just fold them into the dough after blending.

Keto Multi Protein Yoghurt Bread

I have been working with clients wanting to lose weight using a low carb/keto approach. During this time, I’ve found that my almond flour keto bread has too much fat to be helpful to my clients anymore.

In my opinion, being able to add butter, mayonnaise, butter or cheese to a sandwich makes it a little more interesting, keeping keto sustainable long term.
