Using chia seed gel
This recipe uses traditional cooking oil and eggs, but these can be substituted for chia seed gel. Add 1 tea-spoon of chia seeds to 1/4 cup of water, stir with a spoon and allow 10 minutes or so to form into a gel. Add this mixture to your recipes. This website has other recommendations for using chia seeds in common recipes. Now back to the bread:
