I made this bread yesterday and having been eating it with some homemade dairy free pesto. Delicious!! Just one question – how do you store it? I let it cool and cut it in to squares and put it in a plastic freezer bag in the refrigerator. But today I noticed the inside of the bag is all wet. Should I wrap it in paper towel like you suggested for the Nutty gluten free bread?
Thank you! I love your recipes!
Elana says
Yes, wrap in paper towels, then a bag :-)
Alta says
This sounds so wonderful. I think I might just whip this up this weekend.

Thanks for another lovely recipe Elana, and just want to say Fantastic Luck with the book launch – it’s already on my amazon wish list and as soon as it’s available here in the UK I am on it! :o)

Thanks Claire!
Jessica says
Looks amazing! any suggestions of what i could use instead of eggs?

Dena says
This may be my dream recipe! It uses flax (which I always have and rarely know what to do with), no yeast, “normal” ingredients, and easy insructions. My daughter hasn’t had bread-like foods in ages and will be delighted with this! Thanks, Elana
Elana says
Dena, you’re welcome!
GF Grannie says
Elana, been baking and enjoying your creations for quite some time, but have never commented. Still…I wanted to let you know that I made this recipe from Laura Dolson a couple of days ago and tweaked it just as you did. I,however, used the golden flax. It was wonderful. I’ll have to try it as a bruschetta next time. Since finding out that I am diabetic, I’ve had to cut out ALL my gluten free grains. This is just one of the reasons I love your recipes. Thanks for all you do. And congrats on your book. Can’t wait to get it!
Elana says
You’re welcome!

I love flax, too. The flavor is so earthy and compliments so many different foods. I even sprinkle it on fruit & cottage cheese. My vet told me to add ground flax to my dog’s food to help his dry skin & it worked beautifully.
Sheryl says
great tip re the dog food, thanks :)
Daniela Magozzi says
