Recipe Notes:

Temperature Of Eggs: To properly be incorporated into the dough, the eggs must be at room temperature.

Sesame Oil Substitution: If you do not have any sesame oil on-hand, or if you follow a primal diet and do not eat sesame oil, olive oil or butter can be substituted in here at a 1:1 ratio.

Ground Sunflower Seed Meal Substitution: If you do not have ground sunflower seed meal, you can, instead, use a blender and pulse raw sunflower seeds until ground into a fine flour. I would suggest using approximately 1 ⅓ cups (~195g) of sunflower seeds in place of the 1 ¾ cup ground sunflower seed meal to do this.

Psyllium Husk Powder Substitution: If you only have whole psyllium husk on-hand, simply put it in a blender and pulse to a powder. Once powdered, weigh the psyllium husk for the exact amount to be used in this recipe. Alternatively, if you don’t have any psyllium husk, powdered or whole, ground flax seeds or chia seeds that have been ground to a powder should work at a 1:1 ratio, but note that I have not personally tested this substitution.

Gluten-Free Baking Powder Substitution: You can try to sub in baking a combination of baking soda and an acid in place of baking powder, but I would personally recommend against it. If you wish to though, for the acid, I would use cream of tartar, vinegar, or lemon juice. Getting the proportion just right is the tricky part. Typically, I use 3/4 tsp of baking soda to 2 tsp cream of tartar or 1-2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice. Note that I have not tried this substitution, but wanted to mention it here in case you decide to go this route. For a fail-safe method, I’d suggest just sticking with gluten-free baking powder!

Cooked Bread Appears Purple In Color: If your bread looks purple in color, it’s likely due to the brand of psyllium powder. If this happens, do not worry! It’s absolutely fine to eat and will taste just as intended.

Bread Turned Green In Some Spots: If you decide to use baking soda and cream of tartar instead of baking powder, your cooked bread may have specks of green. They’re completely edible and will taste just as intended.

Net Carbs: One serving, which is equivalent to 1 slice of bread, contains 2.8 grams of net carbs.

Room Temperature Storage: Store baked bread covered with a clean muslin cloth at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Freezer Storage: Store baked bread wrapped in parchment paper and placed in an airtight storage bag for up to 2 months.
