FAQ

  • Can I make this without eggs?

    I haven't tried the recipe without eggs. I should be possible, but I can't guarantee the outcome.

  • Can I make this without xanthan or guar gum?

    Yes you can, but the texture will be firmer and a little gummier. The small amount of xanthan gum helps to bind up liquid and keep the bread tender without adding much extra chew. Add an extra 5g of psyllium husk powder to the recipe.
