Low-FODMAP Maple Egg Bread Recipe: Simply Delicious! Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Printer Friendly Version

Bread. Its a sensory experience.  Pulling apart a crust from the middle.  Savoring the colors of a bread basket. Crunching on toast. Smelling loaves in the oven.

Lately I have had a serious hankering for fresh baked low-FODMAP bread.

Not just any bread, either. I decided that I needed to make a spongy, springy, chewy, and slightly sweet low-FODMAP bread recipe. Perfect for holiday meals, low-FODMAP french toast, or a fancy low-FODMAP grilled cheese.  This dairy-free, gluten-free, low-FODMAP bread is both simple and delicious!

I consulted some experienced sources and concocted a low-FODMAP egg bread/challah recipe using maple syrup, fresh eggs and a combination of flours. I know it can be a bit more cumbersome to buy more than one flour choice, but I think it is worth it.  With gluten-free baking it really makes a difference to the texture of the final product. Plus with this recipe you don’t have to knead the bread, so it is actually quite simple!

Enjoy with my scrumptious low-FODMAP pumpkin butter, low-FODMAP Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, low-FODMAP Strawberry Coulis or low-FODMAP Lemon Curd.
