Tips and Tricks
1. Even Mixing
Make sure to beat the eggs thoroughly before adding the hemp protein, hemp hearts, and lemon juice. This ensures a consistent texture throughout the bread.2. Batter Consistency
The batter will be more liquid compared to traditional bread batters due to the high egg content. This is normal and will set during baking.
3. Lemon Zest
For extra lemony flavor, add the zest of the lemon along with the juice. This will give the bread a more intense citrus taste.
Variations
Nut Varieties
- Swap pistachios with other nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans for a different crunch and flavor.
Chocolate Chip Addition
- Add a handful of dark or white chocolate chips to the batter for a sweeter, more indulgent treat.
Spiced Bread
- Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm, spiced flavor.
