Low Histamine Bread Recipes

This yeast free bread is a bit dense and moist, and has a taste reminiscent of a baking powder biscuit. It is delicious toasted with nut butter and honey or jam!

*vinegar is a controversial ingredient. The SIGHI list has it rated a level 0, but they recommend using it sparingly. As always, use your own best judgment.

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a bread loaf pan with olive oil. Using an 8.5x 4.5 bread pan will give you bread that's a little taller than if you use the 9x5 pan. The larger bread pan yields really short and wide rectangle slices of bread.

In a mixer combine the hot water, honey, olive oil, and white vinegar (I use the whisk attachment for this in my Bosch). Scrape the sides and make sure the honey is getting mixed in with the water.

Add the flax egg and mix for 30 seconds. Switch to the dough hook attachment (use the dough hook extender if you have one and if you are using a Bosch).

Try to fully cover the wet ingredients when you add the white & brown rice flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder to the mixer. Turn the mixer on low-medium for 2-3 minutes, scraping sides as needed. The dough will be very sticky.

Bake in the oven for 40-50 min or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure you poke the toothpick in the center and in the sides of the bread. Let sit in the bread pan for 5 minutes before moving it to a cooling rack. Wait until bread has cooled to slice.

Slice entire loaf, place parchment paper between each slice and freeze in a container. When you want a slice of bread pull one out and pop it in the toaster on low for 2 to 3 cycles.

I've learned that if you want to make a bread that's low histamine, free from yeast, egg, gluten, AND dairy, you have to adjust your expectations on the taste and texture of the bread. Otherwise you're just going to be disappointed. Unless one of you have a magical bread recipe that makes fluffy bread without yeast that you want to share with me! 

Best Coconut Flour Bread Recipe

Since baking powder is the leavening agent, the recipe uses quite a bit and has a baking powder biscuit sort of aftertaste. The first time I made it, I used 2.5 tsp of baking powder and boy was the aftertaste strong! It's amazing how lowering the amount by half a teaspoon can make a big difference. The best part of yeast free bread is not having to wait for it to rise!

I love making this bread for Rosie because I don't have any reservations about feeding it to her. I don't have to worry if it will raise her histamine levels because there's no yeast or eggs in it (she eats other baked goods with yeast and eggs occasionally but we try to keep it limited). She loves it with macadamia nut butter and with honey, and she's so happy because she can have toast just like the big kids. How do you guys do with yeast? I’m personally quite okay with it, which is probably also why there hasn’t been many bread recipes here on the blog. Let’s just agree it is high time to change that with this Easy No Yeast Low Histamine Bread recipe.

This is only the second bread recipe to make it onto the blog, in the entire two and a half years this blog has been online. Only to be proceeded by the recipe for Cauliflower Sandwich Bread which I usually use to make sandwich buns from. I have been wanting to publish a more traditional soda bread recipe here ever since I published the Cauliflower Sandwich Bread recipe.

Anti Inflammatory Fruit Bread (gluten Free)

Honestly I have had a very difficult relationship with soda bread. It always seemed to turn out either as dense as a rock or with a good texture but with an overpowering taste of soda. But after a couple of months of recipe testing, I have perfected a soda bread recipe to meet my texture and taste requirements. And lets just say it is kid approved…. when I make this the kids cheer and we eat the whole loaf within a day

It is pretty easy and quick to do once you get a hang of how to handle the dough. In total it takes me less than an hour to make the dough and bake the bread. You start by getting all of the gear and ingredients ready and turn on the oven. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl (spelt flour, salt and baking soda), set aside. Next, in a measuring cup, first measure out the yogurt, then add the milk followed by the apple cider vinegar (optional), stir to combine the yogurt and the milk. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until the dough starts to come together. Get your hands in there a kneed it briefly until you get one ball of dough.

Place the ball of dough onto a baking tray lined with grease proof parchment paper. Flatten it out with your hands until you get a thick disc (I wet my hands before I do this, it makes it easier and gives the finished bread a more smooth surface). Then wet a big sharp knife and cut a cross into the disc, it is important that you cut relatively deep into the dough, as this helps the dough rise in the oven. Make a cut that is about 2/3 of the disc deep, wet the knife between each cut. I like to make 4 cuts in total in my bread, making it look a bit like a wheel. Don’t worry too much about the bread being perfectly round. I gave mine a quick egg wash, to give it that golden finish. But is totally optional, and not very common to practice in regards to soda breads I believe.

Place the bread in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. The bread is ready when it has a nice golden color, and it sounds hollow if you tap it on the bottom. Let the bread cool down for a bit on a wire rack before you serve it. It tastes the best when it is still a bit warm, and goes great with salted butter or jam (or both at the same time…. yum).

Low Histamine Breads That You Can Enjoy

I consider myself a bit of a foodie. And I really like it when I can share a great treat with you that fits the low histamine diet!

So, I was really excited to pull together this Everything Bagel Flavor for Low Histamine Bread that hits so many checkmarks.

From popcorn toppings (or a topping for popped sorghum for those of us with Lectin Intolerance) to fish and meat rubs. It’s showing up everywhere!

But where did it all begin? I started wondering about the origins of the Everything Bagel when I started putting this recipe together. Here’s what I learned.

It appears there is some dispute over who invented the Everything Bagel and when. One story goes that a teen working in a Queens bagel shop invented the Everything Bagel.

As the story goes, the bagel shop made many different types of bagels: poppy seed bagels, salt-crusted bagels, sesame bagels, and even onion bagels.

Part of his job was to clean out the ovens each night. And he’d sweep up the various toppings that had fallen off the bagels.

But one night, he looked at all the bagel toppings that had fallen off a little differently. He thought, why not top a bagel with all these ingredients and call it an Everything Bagel?!

Flatbread

So, he tried it. And as it turns out, when you get all those flavors together, from sesame to chives, it makes a really tasty combo.

Breakfasts Low In Histamine (in Spanish)

But bagels aren’t on the menu for those of us watching our histamine levels. Even ones made with gluten free flour or corn can cause reactions.

It won’t add to your histamine load AND you’ll get lots of added benefits from the low histamine foods used to make the recipe.

And did you know that inflammation triggers mast cells? That’s one reason why lowering inflammation can help if you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.
