Ingredients

• 200 grams whole wheat flour
• 50 grams protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 180 milliliters warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, Greek yogurt, honey, and the egg. Beat lightly to blend the ingredients.

Step 3

Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid mixture in.

Step 4

Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. If it's too dry, add a small amount of water; if too wet, a little more flour.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

Step 9

Flatten the dough slightly, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface, incorporating it into the dough by folding and kneading gently.

Step 10

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 20 minutes.

Step 12

After the second rise, make a few shallow slashes on the top of the dough with a sharp knife.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped underneath.

Step 14

Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your high-protein cheesy bread either slightly warm or at room temperature.
