Low Carb Protein Bread
A protein bread with no grain flour at all: quark and ground almonds form the base, along with eggs and a little raising agent. That makes the bread low carb, gluten-free and pleasingly high in protein. If you like a coarser crumb, replace part of the quark with cottage cheese.

Frequently asked questions
Is this protein bread gluten-free?
Yes, it contains no grain flour. Just make sure your baking powder is labelled gluten-free.
Can I replace the quark with cottage cheese?
Yes. Cottage cheese gives the crumb a slightly coarser, moister texture. You can use it instead of the quark, either fully or in part.
Why is this bread low carb?
Instead of flour, ground almonds and quark give the loaf its structure. That means it contains far fewer carbohydrates than a classic wheat bread.
