“i can’t have bread” bread

No white flour, no white sugar … gluten-free (but of course!) … This is the bread for people who “can’t have bread.”

I avoided bread for yeeeeears for health reasons. So I lost the 30 extra pounds I’d mysteriously begun carrying ’round and banished that food coma I used to always have.

(You know the one, when ya eat lunch, then feel droopy and sluggish afterwards and suddenly the couch starts yelling your name? Yeah, THAT.)

For these reasons, living a bread-free existence is SUPER AWESOME! For sure, one million and one percent.

But every now and again, I do love a nice slice or two. And this bread will make you smile without bringin’ ya down. Cool!

“I Can’t Have Bread” Bread Recipe

• 3/4 cup arrowroot powder
• 1/4 cup flaxseed meal

Special thanks to Janine, my baker-friend and inspiration, for introducing me to the concept that, if ya make it yourself, you actually CAN have some of the things that were “not on the list!” She is the official Bread Queen!
