Hearty Protein Bread
- Ingredients
- 3 Tbsps Pumpkin seed
- 3 Tbsps Sunflower seed
- 4 tsps Sesame seeds
- 0.6666 cup Sweet lupine flour
- 0.6666 cup ground almonds
- ¼ cup Coconut flour
- 4 Tbsps flaxseed
- 2 Tbsps Spelt flour
- 3 Tbsps Oat bran
- 2 tsps Baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cilantro
- 2 eggs
- 8 ozs Sour cream
Mix pumpkin, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds, set aside 2 tablespoons. Mix remaining seeds with sweet lupine flour, almonds, coconut flour, flaxseed, spelt flour, oat bran, baking powder, salt and coriander.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream until smooth, gradually mixing in the dry ingredients and 1 cup of lukewarm water with the dough hooks of the hand mixer.
Line a loaf pan (approx. 25 cm) with baking paper, fill in the dough, smooth it down and score it lengthwise with a knife. Sprinkle the seeds on top, press lightly, cover the bread and let it proof for 30 minutes.
Then place a pan filled with water on the bottom of the oven. Bake bread in a preheated oven at 200 °C/ 400°F (convection 180 °C/ 375°F) for about 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 180°C/ 375°F, bake the bread for another 45 minutes. To test the cooking, stick a wooden skewer into the bread. If no dough sticks to it, it is ready. Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool down on a cake rack for about 10 minutes, then turn it over and let it cool down completely.

Healthy, because
Sweet lupine flour is characterised by a high protein content and at the same time provides hardly any carbohydrates. The low-carb alternative is also gluten-free, and with
a high vitamin E content, seeds and kernels are a sight to behold. The fat-soluble vitamin protects our cells from harmful free radicals, which are particularly harmful when we are under physical or mental stress.
Even smarter
Whether for breakfast or for lunch with a soup, the hearty protein bread is always well received and is perfect for a low-carb diet. The bread stays fresh in the bread box for three to four days. For storage, you can slice the bread and freeze it in portions.
