Report

This Gluten-Free Flax Bread Recipe is one of our favorites. It's a great kid-friendly paleo bread recipe. Tastes great with sweet or savory toppings and freezes well.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease pans (coconut oil works great!). See below for pan selection information.
Mix dry ingredients well -- a whisk works well.
Add wets to dries and combine well. If using eggs, make sure there aren't obvious strings of egg in the batter.
Let batter set for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken up some (leave it too long and it gets past the point where it's easy to spread.)
Spoon batter into pan and spread out.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until it springs back when you touch the top and/or is visibly browned.
Cool and cut into whatever size slices you want.

Notes

Sweeteners: Use whatever sweetener you like. Stevia extract will work as well. If using stevia, use 1/32 teaspoon. Organic sucanat or organic coconut sugar are good options if you don't need low-carb or are AIP.
Egg Alternatives: You can use an egg substitute like Ener-G Egg Replacer or my Homemade Powdered Egg Replacer. For a low-carb egg substitute use a flax egg, chia egg, or gelatin egg.
All five eggs might be a too many for someone who doesn't like eggs. You can try using 3-4 and substituting an egg alternative for the remaining eggs.
Flax Meal Info: If grinding your own flax meal, which I recommend, 4 cups of flax seeds yield about 6 - 6 1/2 cups flax meal. If you have extra after grinding, store it in the fridge or freezer for adding to smoothies, etc.
Paleo: Use this homemade baking powder (or another appropriate version).
Whole30: Use my homemade baking powder, or another appropriate alternative, and omit the sweetener to make this recipe friendly for Whole30.
Pan sizes and conversion info: One recipe will fit well in a 10x15 pan. To use 2 9x13 pans, make 1 1/2 recipes.3 recipes covers 2 large circular baking stones.If you really want to bake in bulk, make 4 1/2 recipes for 2 large size pizza stones and 2 9x13 pans.
