Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 
To freeze, let the bread cool completely. Slice, store the individual slices in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and freeze for 2-3 months.
While whey and casein protein powders create the best baking texture, you can swap a plant-based option if preferred.
