Author: Maria Emmerich
Recipe type: Bread
Cuisine: American
Serves: 18
Ingredients
- 12 eggs, separated
- ½cup Jay Robb unflavored egg white protein (or ¾ to 1 cup whey protein)
- ½ tsp onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Separate the eggs (save the yolks), and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff (I use a stand mixer on high for a few minutes).
- Gently mix the protein powder into the whites.
- Slowly fold the reserved egg yolks into the whites (making sure the whites don't fall).
- Grease a bread pan with coconut oil spray and fill with "dough."
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall. Cut into slices.
- I keep this bread in the freezer at all times to make sandwiches.
- OPTION: Make bread into 18 buns on a greased cookie sheet.
- NOTE: If having trouble with it falling after cooking, try 400 degrees for an hour. Some protein powders require longer.
