Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whey protein powder
- 100 grams Blue cheese, crumbled
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and honey in warm water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Step 3
Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, then add olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Step 4
Add the crumbled blue cheese into the dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and shape it into a rustic loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
Before baking, sprinkle a little flour on top of the loaf for a rustic finish and slash the top with a sharp knife to allow for expansion during baking.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread has a golden crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 11
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy the rich flavors of this high protein rustic blue cheese bread!
