Ingredients

▢10 large egg whites
▢1/4 teaspoon salt
▢1 cup whey protein powder unflavored
▢1/2 cup almond flour
▢1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
▢2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper (leave a little overhang for easy removal later) and set it aside.

1. Whip the Egg Whites: In a large clean bowl, combine the 10 egg whites and the salt. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. You can do this by hand with a whisk (get ready for an arm workout!) or use a hand/stand mixer to make it faster. The egg whites should turn into a fluffy, cloud-like mixture that can hold a peak on the whisk.

1. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Once the egg whites are whipped and voluminous, add in the whey protein powder, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and baking powder. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the egg whites using a spatula. Take your time and use a light touch – you want to combine everything without deflating all those air bubbles you whipped in. Stop mixing as soon as it’s uniformly combined (it’s okay if the batter looks light and airy).
2. Fill the Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth out the top with your spatula so it’s distributed evenly. The batter will be fluffy and light.
3. Bake: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. It will puff up and turn a lovely light golden brown on top. Important: After 30 minutes, avoid sudden temperature changes – turn off the oven, and crack the oven door open just slightly. Let the bread sit in the cooling oven for another 20-30 minutes. This gentle cooling step helps prevent the loaf from collapsing (since we relied on whipped eggs for rise instead of heavy flours or yeast).
4. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool the rest of the way on a wire rack. Once it’s at room temperature, lift the bread out using the parchment overhang. Now slice it up and enjoy! You’ll notice it slices nicely and holds together like a real bread loaf. Serve it fresh or toasted, and savor the fact that you just baked a protein-packed bread from scratch!
