    What substitutes for eggs can be used in bread recipes?
    Community Answer
    Replacing eggs used in bread can be difficult and it is often better to find a different recipe. If the eggs are used for glazing, milk or oil can be substituted. Ground flax seed might work in some cases. Egg replacement products available commercially might work but would need to be trialed. Any bread recipe requiring 3 or more eggs will not work without the eggs, in which case you do need to find an alternative recipe or risk a poor outcome when using a substitute.
