Every ingredient links to its food page — same data, same score, same formula.

Steps

Blend everything until completely smooth — unblended curds make holes.
Pour onto a parchment-lined quarter sheet pan and tilt into a thin, even rectangle.
Bake at 175°C for 25–30 minutes until set and golden at the edges.
Cool a few minutes before peeling off the parchment. Fill and roll like any wrap.

Why does this work as bread?

It works because it's basically an omelette wearing bread's clothes: the whole flatbread carries around 30 g of protein before you've added a single filling.

Why this score

solidly filling

No single route carries this one — a moderate amount of protein, volume and fiber.

Three routes to fullness — one is enough

What pulls it down

Nothing here converges the way engineered food does — no sugar, no savoury and no alcohol penalty.

How scores work

Computed on the finished dish, not an average of the parts: 389 kcal goes into the pot, 329 g of ingredients comes out as ~250 g of food → 156 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water, and energy density is the score's biggest lever — so we show the math. Full formula here.

Percentages are the share of calories from each macronutrient.

Computed from the ingredients' USDA data — nothing typed by hand. Every number is traceable, every score recomputable.
