Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 180 milliliters warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, Greek yogurt, honey, and the egg. Beat lightly to blend the ingredients.
Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture in.
Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. If it's too dry, add a small amount of water; if too wet, a little more flour.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Flatten the dough slightly, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface, incorporating it into the dough by folding and kneading gently.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 20 minutes.
After the second rise, make a few shallow slashes on the top of the dough with a sharp knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your high-protein cheesy bread either slightly warm or at room temperature.
