I love just plain basic bread. I no longer eat gluten and I like try different paleo recipes. The problem is that many of the recipes I do use, my clients have trouble with some of the ingredients. When I come across a recipe I really like, I look to modify it to be low FODMAP, so my clients can enjoy it. I am going to post both the paleo recipe (second) and the modified FODMAP friendly version (first) of this bread recipe. 

The paleo recipe is from Pinterest and I am giving recipe credit to Blogger, Nurture my gut, A Mom’s Blueprint for a Thriving Gluten Free Life (Perfect Paleo Bread, 10/27/16)

Ingredients for FODMAP Friendly Bread Recipe

• 1 ½ cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ cup hemp seed
• 2 TBSP chia seeds
• ¾ cup lactose free milk or alternative milk, such as Almond Milk
• ½ cup oil
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions for FODMAP Friendly Bread Recipe

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Use an 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½ loaf pan
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together GF flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, hemp seed, and chia seeds. Mix until smooth.
• Add the lactose free/alternative milk, oil, maple syrup, eggs and apple cider vinegar. Mix until smooth.
• Pour into a loaf pan. You can line the loaf pan with parchment paper, but I didn’t.
• Put in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow 10 minutes to cool before slicing.
• Store in a sealed container.

This is not a sweet bread. It is a basic bread and that is why I added hemp and chia seeds. It will help increase the nutritional value in each slice. The bread has a yellow tint to it which I’m assuming is from the eggs.

As you can see the paleo recipe has many high FODMAP ingredients. If you are following the FODMAP diet I hope you enjoy the modified version above!
