Meat-Based Protein Bread (Carnivore-Friendly)
This meat-based bread is a great way to enjoy a high-protein, low-carb option that’s perfect for those on a carnivore or keto diet. With chicken or turkey as the main ingredient, this bread is filling and full of flavor. You can enjoy it as a savory snack, or pair it with other carnivore-friendly dishes!
Ingredients:
- 5 large eggs
- 1 pound ground chicken or turkey (you can use any ground meat of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Optional seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, or herbs (depending on your preference)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 5 eggs and whisk them together until well-beaten.
-
Add Ground Meat: Add the ground chicken or turkey into the bowl with the eggs. Use a spoon or your hands to mix the ingredients together thoroughly.
-
Incorporate Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Add the baking powder and baking soda into the egg and meat mixture. Stir well to ensure that the baking ingredients are evenly distributed. You can also add optional seasonings at this point, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any other carnivore-friendly spices.
-
Mix the Dough: Once everything is well-mixed, the consistency should be slightly thick but spreadable. If it feels too thick, you can add a tiny bit of water or broth, but it should hold together in a dense consistency.
-
Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a loaf pan or baking dish with butter or ghee to prevent sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
Transfer the Mixture: Pour the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, making sure the top is smooth.
-
Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The bread should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch. You can check if it’s fully cooked by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
-
Cool and Slice: After baking, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it up into thick pieces and enjoy.
Serving Suggestions:
- Carnivore Meal: Serve the bread as a side to a juicy steak or grilled chicken for an extra boost of protein.
- Toppings: If you’re not on a strict carnivore diet, you can add butter or cheese on top for additional flavor.
- Sandwich Base: You can also use it as a base for carnivore-friendly sandwiches by adding deli meats or cheese in between the slices.
Tips:
- Ground Meat Options: You can substitute chicken or turkey with ground beef, lamb, or any meat of your choice.
- Texture: The bread will have a denser texture compared to traditional bread due to the meat and eggs. It’s meant to be hearty and filling.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different spices or seasonings to suit your taste. Some people like adding onion powder or smoked paprika for a bit of extra flavor.
This meat-based bread is a fantastic way to incorporate more protein into your diet, and it’s a great carnivore-friendly alternative to traditional bread! Enjoy it as a savory snack, side, or base for sandwiches.
