Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unflavored whey protein powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well integrated.
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture into the dry mix.
Using a wooden spoon or dough hook on a stand mixer, mix until a dough starts to form. The dough should be slightly sticky but come together in a smooth ball.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead using a stand mixer's kneading attachment for about 5 minutes.
Lightly oil a clean bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any excess air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a cloth and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes or until the dough rises about an inch above the loaf pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once risen, bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Enjoy your high-protein olive oil bread as a nutritious snack or accompaniment to meals.
