Eggs are a nearly-perfect superfood… unless you have an egg allergy or intolerance!

And it seems that this dietary dilemma becomes more common with each passing year – as growing numbers of people discover they feel better without eggs in their diet. Of course, many of these people still want to enjoy the pleasures of bread!

So, we set out to discover the best way to prepare our one-of-a-kind Miracle Bread without the use of eggs. Before we begin, it is important to note that eggs are one of the most difficult things to replace in baking. That’s because eggs provide a number of important properties.

Eggs create a matrix within bread that improves binding and helps to hold the ingredients together. The protein in eggs also provides structure and stability that helps bread to stand tall. The properties of eggs also help to trap and hold air, which improves leavening and increases rise.

It is difficult to replace all these different properties with just one ingredient substitution. And we certainly tried, performing more than a dozen experiments with various commercial egg replacement products and “at-home” recipes.

Most of these formulas are designed to work with traditional wheat breads. They do not perform the same with grain-free ingredients and did not meet our expectations. The results are typically “gummy” and many of these substitutions added too many carbs for our comfort level.

But we are not easily deterred. And after numerous trials, we finally found an egg-free combination of ingredients that WORKS!

The image at the top of this page is made using the egg-free recipe featured below, so you know what to expect. This egg-free version of Miracle holds together well and is easy to slice. And while it doesn’t rise to the same degree as the version with eggs, it does increase in height as it bakes.

In addition to one package of Wellness Bakeries Miracle Bread Mix, this preparation calls for a few common kitchen staples that are not listed on the package directions. Here's how these functional ingredients work to replace eggs:

• Whey Protein – Provides protein that creates structure and prevents falling
  
• Carbonated Water – Provides carbon dioxide gas bubbles to improve rise
• Psyllium Husk Powder – Properties to improve binding, leavening and structure
• Yeast (optional) – Provides additional leavening and old-world flavor
  

Please keep in mind Miracle Bread Mix is best prepared as instructed on the package. We’ve created a page with step-by-step photos (and a video) to show you the simple preparation for Keto Paleo Sandwich Bread.

However, if you need to enjoy this bread WITHOUT eggs, the preparation below (and pictured above) is the best way to do it. Happy Baking!
