We’ve had so many conversations about giving up gluten, either on the PCOS Show or in various articles on the blog.
And I know that it’s not easy. What are you going to have for lunch instead of sandwiches? Is gluten free bread okay? Bread is just so easy.
Well, I prefer not to have gluten free bread for a number of reasons. It tends to be made from very processed and refined flours, giving it a high glycemic load. And I just don’t like the taste of it, if I’m entirely honest.
But, I did stumble across this wonderful PCOS friendly bread recipe from Elana’s Pantry. It is so easy to make and is a regular feature in our family.
I love it toasted or plain as a sandwich bread.
Here is the recipe for you:

Can you cook these bread recipes in a bread maker? Unsure if it would cook properly
I wouldn’t recommend it. Baking in the oven is best
Please show this recipe in grams for us over in the uk -I’d love to try but getting really confused with measurements- thanks so much 🙂
Hi, what is the decision on the flaxseed, 1/4cup or 1/2cup total? Is it a typo having it there twice? Thanks!
Thanks for picking that up, Lizzie. It was a typo and all fixed. Just a 1/4 cup.
The double entry for the 1/4 cup of golden flaxmeal has not been corrected and is still there.
You have flax meal written twice, typo?
What can I eat for breakfast. Is basmati rice ok to eat
Hi Tarryn, what do you think about buckwheat?
Hi Tarryn.
Thanks for the recipe. Just wondering what your thoughts were on gluten free wraps? I have been using bfree gluten, dairy and soy free multi grain ones for lunch but after reading this I’m worried now about the glycemic load!
Hi Tarryn,
Please correct me if I am wrong – but Almond Flour are ground almonds right? Nuts are high in calories and affects uric acid.
Would that mean this bread recipe is also high in Calories and should be eaten in moderation because of the Almond Flour and concern on it’s efect on Uric Acid?
Thank you!
