SOFT GLUTEN FREE VEGAN BREAD RECIPE

A couple of years ago, I posted a Soft Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Recipe that still gets a lot of attention.  I hear from hundreds of people every month who love it & at least as many begging me to create a Vegan (egg free) version of it.  It wasn’t until we discovered my son was also allergic to eggs that I started taking the Egg Free options very seriously.

So, I experimented with Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds, Psyllium Husks, Applesauce, Bananas, Egg Replacers, and several combinations of Baking Powders & Acids… But nothing I tried could truly duplicate a good loaf of bread.  Discouraged, I set the idea aside for a while and stuck to making gluten free flatbreads & hot dog buns – Until Recently…

Remember my post a couple months ago about Aquafaba (aka Garbanzo Bean Brine) being used in place of eggs to make Meringue??  Well, I couldn’t shake the idea that I could use this somehow for bread, so I tried, and tweaked, and tried again… and it worked beautifully!  I’ve made at least 20 batches with this recipe and it turns out soft & delicious every single time.  So, now its time to share it with you! =)
