If you want it to be a little fruity, dried fruits are a great idea. Cranberries are particularly suitable because they are still juicy and sweet and sour even when dried.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Since you don’t use yeast, you don’t need to allow time for the dough to rise. Instead, add all the ingredients directly into a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Grease a bread pan. Distribute the dough evenly in the pan. Bake the bread for about 45 minutes.

If you like it the classic way with yeast, you don’t have to plan a lot more time. You can also work quite quickly with baker’s yeast, as this recipe for protein bread proves. You need the following ingredients for the protein bread with quark:
1 cup of water 11 g dry yeast 300 g wholemeal flour or oat flakes 150 g almond flour 50 g quark or ricotta 40 g each of ground linseed, chia, sunflower seeds and oat flakes 1 pinch of salt Pumpkin seeds for sprinkling Source: @greenalitas/ Instagram
How to make the protein bread recipe with quark:
Mix the yeast with the water and set it aside for now. Place the remaining dry ingredients, except the flour, in a mixing bowl and mix well. Stir in the yeast water and mix well. Now add the quark and, after stirring thoroughly, the wholemeal flour in two portions. Let the dough rest covered for half an hour so that the yeast can rise. Grease a bread pan (or use a silicone mold) and spread the dough into it. Sprinkle with a few pumpkin seeds. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 45 minutes.
Frequently asked questions about protein bread

Can you freeze protein bread?
However! This means you can prepare twice the amount and freeze one of the two breads for storage. To do this, you should let it cool well and preferably cut it into slices. This means you can divide it into portions and defrost as many sandwiches in the toaster as you need.
Even supposedly healthy food loses this quality if you overdo it. The same applies here: As part of a balanced diet, the bread is definitely healthy, as the many seeds provide many nutrients and the proteins are not only beneficial for physically active people.

Is it suitable for losing weight?
In general, if you want to lose weight, you have to go into a calorie deficit. This means that you should consume fewer calories than your body uses. Seen this way, losing weight with protein bread through some magical fat burning is not possible. What it can do, however, is keep you full for a longer period of time due to the proteins, preventing snacking between meals. In addition, sufficient protein is essential for building muscle and more muscle also consumes more calories (even when resting).
