Gluten-free protein bread with oats and skyr

Mexican oat, skyr, and chia bread is a popular, updated version of the classic Mexican dish, perfect for those following a gluten-free or high-protein diet. Inspired by the light flavors and textures of traditional Mexican breads, it relies on oats for fiber, skyr for protein, and seeds for a slightly crunchy texture. This soft bread is ideal for accompanying Mexican dishes like soups or chili, or simply for breakfast. It's naturally gluten-free, easy to prepare, requires no rising, and lends itself to both sweet spreads and savory toppings. Plus, it keeps for several days while retaining its soft texture, making it a must-have for those who love balanced, gluten-free recipes.

3. Shape and bake the bread
- Pour the batter into a silicone loaf pan or one lined with parchment paper. I always use my loaf pan with a lid, without grease or parchment paper, and it works perfectly.
- Bake: Bake in your preheated oven at 180°C for 40 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness with the tip of a knife.
- Cooling: Let the bread cool before cutting it.
