Egg Free Gluten-Free Bread Recipes

Baking gluten-free can be tricky especially if you are allergic to eggs. However, gone are the days when eggs were the only binding solution to glutenless bread!

With the discovery of xanthan gum and psyllium husk, eggs became unnecessary unless you make a brioche loaf.

Best egg substitutes in bread

It is popular to swap eggs with chia or flax eggs, applesauce, or mashed bananas. However, those substitutes are limited and frequently compromise the end result.

If you need a thorough guide to egg-free baking, I recommend checking out "The Elements of Baking" on Amazon.

Here you will find recipes that are designed without eggs and thus don't need any egg substitutes!

Yeasted loaves

These recipes reflect the traditional loaf bread baked either in a bread pan or a Dutch oven for a caramelized crust. Most of these rely on psyllium husks for binding.

International yeasted bread

Aside from loaf bread, you can make focaccia, pull-apart Turkish bread, pita pockets, pizza, and even bagels without eggs.

Sourdough bread

Gluten-free sourdough bread is a whole other beast but it is also largely made without eggs (although my top gluten-free sourdough has them).

To make sourdough you will need a gluten-free starter that takes about 14 days to grow at home.

Yeast-free bread

Finally, there are recipes that don't rely on yeast. That includes flatbreads, tortillas, and some loaf-style bakes.
