👩🍳 Step-By-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix the Dough
In a bowl combine:
• Shredded mozzarella
• Eggs
• Protein powder
Mix until fully combined.
It will be thick and sticky — that’s normal.
If mixture seems too dry → add 1 tbsp water.
If too wet → add 1 tbsp protein powder.
3️⃣ Shape
Spread mixture onto parchment into:
• 1 large flat rectangle
OR
• 4 oval bread portions (like the image)
Flatten to about ½ inch thick.
Sprinkle parmesan on top if using.
4️⃣ Bake
Bake 15–18 minutes until:
✔ Golden brown
✔ Edges slightly crispy
✔ Center set and firm
For extra browning:
Broil 2–3 minutes at the end.
