22 Easy Bread Recipes Without Eggs

Some of the best bread recipes out there are naturally made without eggs, making it easy for those who are avoiding eggs, are having difficulty getting eggs, or would like to keep the cost down to still enjoy bread. If you are looking for bread recipes without eggs, you have come to the right place – here you’ll find more than twenty recipes for everything from pita bread, to monkey bread, to banana bread.

I know there are quite a few people who are avoiding eggs for health reasons, either from an allergy or sensitivity, or because they want to live a vegan lifestyle. And lately eggs have gotten much more expensive than they used to be, so you may just want to use less eggs in general.

The good news is that you can make quite a few breads, both yeasted and quick, that do not call for any eggs.

And while there are quite a few breads that naturally don’t use eggs – like a good artisan bread or baguette, for instance, that is simply water, yeast (or sourdough), flour, and salt – there are also other breads that replace traditional eggs with egg substitutes (like flax) or use no eggs at all like some quick breads, muffins, and scones.

If you’re trying to avoid eggs – or just to use less eggs – here are 22 of the best bread recipes without eggs from both this site and others. You can definitely have your bread and eat it too – without eggs!

Bread Recipes Without Eggs

1. Quick & Tender Hamburger Buns or Breadsticks

These are so tender, you’ll never miss the eggs. Plus, they really are a quick yeast bread – they are ready in an hour, start to finish!

2. Easy, Soft 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

This is the recipe that freed me from buying store bought bread. It so good and so easy, it may do the same for you, too!

3. Make Ahead, Real Food Glazed Monkey Bread

Just because you’re avoiding eggs doesn’t mean you can’t have a soft, sweet bread treat. This monkey bread is our family’s Christmas morning tradition!

 

4. Homemade Whole Grain Pita Bread

While it may look like pita bread would take a lot of time to make (mixing, rolling, etc.), they actually don’t! I have a timeline in my recipe that shows the hands-on time for pita bread is just 20 minutes (with a 1-hour dough rise), so really doable. And the difference between this bread and store bought? No comparison!

5. Easy Artisan Bread

Truly an “anyone can do it” bread with a perfect crust that comes from baking it in a dutch oven. Once you try this, you’ll never go back to $5 loaves…

6. Simple French Baguettes (aka, The Bread You Can’t Stop Eating)

Here is a bread that almost couldn’t be simpler – mix everything in a food processor (the kneading time is only 1 minute!), rise, shape, bake and eat. There’s also an option to let it rise in the fridge, so you can mix it in the morning and have fresh bread that night.

7. Easy Pesto Twist Bread Recipe

I developed this using my quick pizza dough so we could have a fun bread any time we wanted. It’s another yeast bread that’s literally done in minutes – and baking in a cast iron skillet gives the crust a wonderful crunch.

8. Quick Homemade Pizza Dough (for less than $1!)

Speaking of that pizza dough – it’s another option for naturally eggless bread that your whole family will love. Pizza nights will never be the same when you can choose your own toppings.

9. Easy Sourdough Artisan Bread

If you have a sourdough starter, you can make a delicious, crusty bread, too, with a bit more tang than the yeast artisan bread.

10. Homemade Bread Recipe (Dairy Free, Egg Free) – Frugal Family Home

This is a lovely, basic white bread loaf, perfect for sandwiches and more.

11. Easy Soft Dinner Rolls – Cafe Delites

Not only are these mouth watering rolls egg-free, they also don’t need a mixer to make and only require a bit of kneading.

12. Homemade Bread In A Crockpot – The Thrifty Couple

Did you know you can make bread in a crockpot? I didn’t, but this sure looks good and is normally egg free.

13. Beer Bread with Garlic and Cheese – Today’s Creative Life

Adding beer to bread helps with rise and makes a tender loaf without the need for eggs.

14. Hard Apple Cider Bread – Tidy Mom

Similar to beer bread, hard apple cider works to aid in rising (this recipe uses self-rising flour) and produces a tender loaf.

15. Easy Homemade Amish Bread – The Happier Homemaker

This recipe gets it moistness from oil and a sweetness from sugar. The author says it’s so easy her kids make it.

16. Easy Eggless Milk Bread – Wild Wild Whisk

Looking for a moist dinner roll that doesn’t include eggs like my whole wheat dinner rolls? Here’s your answer, though it does use dairy to get that tender crumb (milk is known for tenderizing breads). Obviously skip the egg wash and go with a cream wash – it would be just as good.

17. Beer Cheese Muffins – Lemon Tree Dwelling

The same idea as the beer bread above, but in a convenient muffin form. You could flavor the muffins with other things, too.

18. Classic Cream Scones @ Add A Pinch

Cream scones can be your go-to scone recipe when you’re looking for eggless breads. You can leave them plain like pictured (is that glaze really “plain” though?), or add berries or nuts and citrus peel to change them up.

19. Authentic Indian Fry Bread – Yellow Bliss Road

Does this count as a bread? Oh yes, I think so – and what a fun option for egg-free bread! You can dust it with sugar or leave it plain to eat with dinner, your choice.

20. Pineapple Nut Bread – Homemade Food Junkie

This bread is not only egg free, but also vegan, vegetarian, and dairy free – this could work for so many people.

21. Glazed Banana Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Swirl – Oh My Creative

Now this looks amazing, right? I had to double check that it didn’t include eggs because it sure looks like a rich dough and delicious treat. Which is probably because you can make this with eggs – or not by using the included flax meal substitute.

22. Eggless Banana Bread – Food.com

Did you think all quick breads need eggs? While most do, you can make a good quick banana bread with this recipe – and this doesn’t even call for an egg substitute, but mashed bananas and applesauce. I’m thinking you may be able to make this into an apple bread by using all applesauce…what do you think?
