Almond Flaxseed Yeast Bread
Recently, I published a video on Almond Flaxseed Bread, and it turned out great even with whole eggs. So, I decided to make a yeast version, but it did not rise as well and the top flattened after a while. Hence, the texture was heavier and denser. Then I tried another version with egg white powder, and it rose beautifully producing a light and fluffy texture. This is evident that the protein from egg whites helps to boost the rise. Both versions smell and taste pleasant and are crispy when toasted. I hope you find this comparison useful.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
3. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Add all the wet ingredients (except the yeast mixture) and mix briefly. Then add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough is formed.
5. Transfer the dough into an 8 x 5 x 4-inch loaf pan, greased and lined with parchment paper. You can also use a Pullman loaf pan which is close to this loaf pan size. Spread evenly and leave the top round.
6. Cover with a towel and let it proof at a warm area or in the oven at 210F or 100C with a dish of hot water underneath. I proofed the whole egg version in the oven for 45 minutes. It rose nicely initially but the top flattens after a while and did not rise anymore during baking. I proofed the egg white powder at a very warm area for 15 minutes only and it rose until almost the top of the pan. This is evident that the protein from the egg white powder helps to boost the rise.
7. Bake at the lowest rack for 60 minutes. It is done when the internal temperature is 200F or 93C.
8. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into 12 or 16 servings.
9. Both versions have a pleasant smell and taste. They are also crispy when toasted.
10. This bread can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months or longer.
