Hi, your bread recipe looks plausible for my tiny kitchen. May I know the purpose of the sweetener and is 30g of it really necessary please?
Also, I only have instant yeast instead of yeast. Could you please advise me on how i may need to change up the sequence or your recipe for using instant yeast pls? Thanks!!!

Hi! 😊 Sugar helps the yeast rise and adds flavor. 30 g works fine. With instant yeast, just mix with dry ingredients; no proofing needed.

Thanks Lola for this recipe. I've been substituting my own home milled brown rice flour. Comes out perfectly. Brown rice flour bread is dencer and even more grainy but still all the same. I'll try white rice in the fututo see if I get a fluffier texture.

I love this recipe! Do you have any alternatives for eggs? I tried replacing eggs with the flax seed + water mix, but I think this replacement changes the consistency of the batter. After the first mix, the batter remains crumbly and soft (instead of being wet as you've mentioned here). Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Hi prath, I haven’t tried replacing eggs with flax seed and water in this recipe before, so I’m not entirely sure how it might affect the batter. It sounds like the texture may be a bit tricky with that substitute. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to fix it in this case.
