Dietary Variations of Soul Bread

  1. Egg Free I have yet to trial this for an egg free bread recipe I am sure it would work perfectly with some whipped aquafaba.
  2. Dairy Free – swapping the whey protein for pea protein, cream cheese for this fabulous dairy free cream cheese recipe and the cream for coconut yoghurt for the cream. Where this is a will there is a whey…I mean way!
  3. What is great is that this loaf is already a nut free bread recipe, grain free, gluten free, sugar free, and seed free. No bits! The kids will love it!

This recipe is just a simple adaptation of Souls Song – Soul Bread.

It is crunchy on the outside and soft in the centre.  A great bread to add a slab of butter and a scrape of Vegemite. Also fabulous for a cheese and tomato toastie!

Soul Bread Super Star Ingredients.

Before you ask Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) should not be substituted. WPI keeps the bread low carb, high protein, and actually helps provide the structure of the bread.

Bob’s Red Mill Double Acting Baking Powder is seriously the magic I sprinkle in many of my baked recipes. In baking this kind of baking powder produces some bubbles when the ingredients are mixed. THEN most of the rising occurs once heat is applied as the powder produces more bubbles under the heat. I get this product through Elite Health Supplements.

Notes

INGREDIENTS
WPI, or whey protein isolate, is often used in baking for its high protein content and its ability to improve the texture and structure of baked goods. It helps to give baked goods a lighter, fluffier texture, especially in low-carb or gluten-free recipes. Additionally, WPI helps to increase the protein content of baked goods, which can be beneficial for those following a high-protein diet. 
WPI swaps – Using egg white protein powder as an ingredient swaps in the keto soul bread recipe is a great way to reduce the dairy if needed. The consistency of the bread will change somewhat but if for some reason you cannot have whey it is an option. I have not tested this recipe with vegan options.
Dietary Flexibility: Some individuals might have allergies or sensitivities to whey protein isolate, making egg white protein powder and collagen protein a suitable alternative. These swaps allow individuals with specific dietary restrictions to enjoy the benefits of the no carb bread without any adverse reactions.
Improved Texture and Structure: Egg white protein powder, similar to whey protein isolate, can contribute to a lighter and fluffier texture in baked goods. Collagen protein, on the other hand, can add a desirable chewiness and moisture to the bread, making it more enjoyable to eat.
Cream cheese – you can use low fat cream cheese or lactose free cream cheese in this recipe. At a guess cottage cheese or quark that has been strained could be used, but at this time has not been tested.
This is a nut free keto bread recipe that is perfect for school lunches or anyone that has nut allergies. 
STORAGE
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively, slice the Soul Bread before placing into an airtight container and freezing. The bread can be toasted straight from the freezer or defrosted overnight.

    I am very new to the low-carb or keto diet and I’m very sorry these are stupid questions I have not tried the bread yet but I really want to I do not have the whey powder do you have to use it or what can I substitute for it and can I use this recipe in a bread machine

      Hi Maria, yes you need the WPI powder and no there is no substitute for it in this loaf. Also, because the bread has no yeast or gluten it is not suitable for the bread maker sorry.

    Made this last night, very quick and easy, and it made a good-sized loaf also, not those tiny little things you normally get with a paleo or keto bread. Also tastes amazing, not eggy – thanks so much!

    This recipe looks and sounds delicious, especially the cream cheese part! And doesn’t have coconut or almond flour, neither of which I can have. Question for you, can I substitute pea protein powder for the whey powder?

    This bread is the closest thing to white bread !! I slice it and freeze it in individual slices and it defrosts well and is also delicious toasted. It is great to have a sandwich or even better a toasted sandwich. It’s one delicious versatile loaf of bread .

    Is there a good replacement for the unflavored whey?

    Reply
    1. Megan

      You can use almond meal, but the whey contributes to the lightness of the crumb
