Instructions
- Prepare the flaxseed flour: Use a blender or food processor to grind 180 g of flax seeds into a fine flour. Set aside.
- Whip egg whites: In a large bowl, beat 500 g of egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy but not stiff.
- Combine: Gently fold the ground flaxseed into the frothy egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the bread airy.
