Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ezekiel flour (or sprouted grain flour)
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water with the active dry yeast and coconut sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
In a separate bowl, mix Ezekiel flour, whey protein powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Once the yeast has activated, add the olive oil and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the raisins and optional chopped nuts. You may need to knead the dough with your hands to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bread loaf pan, pressing it into the corners evenly.
Cover the pan with a clean, damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 10 minutes of rising.
Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your high protein Ezekiel raisin bread as a nutrient-rich breakfast or snack.
