10 servings
For the flax egg
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
Ingredient noteA serving of up to about 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/8 tablespoon per serving, making it likely fine for most people. If you prefer to always avoid ground flaxseed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp water
For the bread
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
