Bread With out egss

[Cybergran10]

Has anybody found a good way to make yeast breads without using eggs? It seems if I use any animal products at all I seem to prod my arthritis into action and I can hardly move. It seems that the eggs helps the rising process. I'd like to add bread back to my diet if I could come up with a decent substitute. Thanks for any help you could offer. Judy

I haven't tried it, because we don't have a problem with eggs. Have you tried the egg replacer by Energz?

How about biscuits...........do you make those? They can be made without eggs.

Tortilllas? can make good wraps. There is a recipe posted in the recipe section that is really good.

Pizza crust can also be made without eggs.

Pre GF, I had achocolate chip cookie recipe that used tofu in place of eggs. I don't know if this would work or not, but here is what I got from the Mori Nu Website:

http://www.morinu.com/tips/tofu_tips.html

Baking:
When recipe calls for yogurt, sour cream, or eggs*, use puréed tofu. When recipes call for buttermilk, soymilk, or dairy milk, use the "Baking Blend" instead of straight puréed tofu for best results.
To replace liquid ingredients, use same amount of puréed tofu or "Baking Blend."

*5 Tbsp. of puréed tofu equal one egg.

Mori-Nu Baking Blend

1 package Mori-Nu Silken Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. lemon juice or white vinegar

Blend well. Refrigerate in a covered container. Keeps for one week. (1 cup baking blend is equal to 1 cup of liquid ingredients.)

More Ways To Use Tofu:
Use puréed Mori Nu Silken Firm Tofu to replace some liquid, egg, or dairy ingredients:
In homemade or packaged biscuit dough
Puréed with vegetables or fruits for baby food
Like buttermilk (use "Baking Blend") for muffin, pancake, or waffle batters
Use instead of:

eggs or milk in bread dough
eggs in cookie dough
yogurt in fruit shakes or smoothies
milk in packaged pudding mixes
cream in puréed soups
stock in gravy
cream in sauces
oil or sour cream in salad dressings
egg yolks in soufflés
mayonnaise or sour cream in dips and spreads
milk in mashed potatoes
Use as a base for:

low-fat, dairy-free mayonnaise
creamy pasta sauces
dairy-free cheesecakes
cream-free pies
homemade ice cream
rice pudding
chocolate mousse
Mash Mori-Nu Silken Extra Firm Tofu and use to make:

dairy-free ravioli filling
dairy-free blintz filling
tofu egg salad
scrambled "tofu" eggs
sandwich spreads for kids' lunches
Or use to replace:

eggs in quiche
ricotta cheese in lasagna
cottage cheese in casseroles
ground meat in stuffings
feta cheese and eggs in spinach pie
beans in hummus
If you freeze and thaw cubes of Mori-Nu Silken Extra Firm Tofu, use instead of:

Beef in stews
Lamb in curries
Chicken in Thai curry
Shrimp in stir fry dishes
Chicken in Chinese chicken salad
Seafood in pasta dishes
Pork in fried rice
Beef in tacos, burritos, or enchiladas
Ground meat in stuffed peppers
Beef in stroganoff
Chicken in gumbo
Ground turkey or beef in chili
Lobster in Newberg

I tried posting a reply and for some reason it went in the cyberspace. Thankyou for your replies. I have tried the ener-g food replacer and it doesn't do well. I will try the Tofu and let you know how it works. I have done pancakes and biscuits but sometimes it's nice to have a piece of toast. ( Even though I had to buy my own toaster). I have heard of using flax meal as an egg replacer too. I guess I'll have to experiment. Thanks again for your help. Judy

I found this substitute for you............don't know how it works.

Egg Replacer
1 1/2 tbsp. Oil
1 1/2 tbsp. Water
1 tsp. Baking powder

Mix together.

Good News, I added 1/3 cup of Walnuts to the bread mix. I also did 3 tsp of egg replacer and 4 tsp of flax meal. I added 1/2 cup of warm water and added it to the wet ingredients of the bread mixture. I put it in my bread maker as directed by the manufacturer. (With mine you add wet ingredients first). It seems to be rising normally of course it is not thru baking yet, (I said a little prayer that it would raise and taste decent). So far so good. I'll let you know how it turns out. Judy
