You know, trying to find bread that is gluten, dairy, and YEAST free is nigh unto impossible. And if you do find it . . well, I'm not gonna lie . . .it is not good. Gluten free bread tends to be dry and falls apart easily. Then, if you take the yeast out of there your "issues" get even worse.
Now, man shall not live on bread alone. . . but, sometimes your child just really wants a sandwich.
We have found a solution.
And the best part yet? Kids can make it on their own. My son started making this, almost everyday, when he was 7. It is that easy.
Minute Bread - Gluten, Dairy and YEAST Free (with variation below!)
1 egg
3 Tbsp water
1/3 c. gluten free flour blend
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. sugar
Combine all ingredients in a flat, shallow, glass, somewhat bread shaped dish. Do the best you can; in the end, does it really matter what shape your bread is? You can see my dish above, something we just had. Use whatever you have that will be close to the size of two pieces of bread next to each other.
Mix all ingredients with a fork, in your dish thoroughly until well combined. Smooth out flat. Cook in microwave for 95 seconds. Transfer to a rack to cool.
Slice into two pieces of bread.
We eat this in all kinds of ways! For sandwiches, toast, any time you need a quick piece of bread. It is moist, doesn't fall apart, so easy to make, and really . . . just what we needed.
We have tried it with many different GF flours. My kids have their preferences, but they always like it, regardless. Just start experimenting with your favorite flours until you find your favorite.

One of our favorite variations to this recipe is to make cinnamon raisin bread!
Minute Cinnamon Raisin Bread - Gluten, Dairy, and YEAST Free
Follow the instructions above with these variations:
Mix everything in a bowl first.
In your "bread" dish sprinkle a swirl or two of cinnamon and sugar, mixed. Add raisins. Then pour bread dough on top and cook as usual.
Yum yum!
It's especially good toasted with (dairy free) butter:
