Looking for a simple, gluten-free bread alternative? These soft and fluffy yogurt dough balls are perfect for any meal. With just three main ingredients, they're quick to prepare and absolutely delicious.
Perfect for an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle
These gluten-free dough balls are an excellent choice for those following an anti-inflammatory diet. Cassava flour, the star ingredient, offers numerous health benefits that make it a superior alternative to traditional wheat flour:
- Low Glycemic Index: Helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and supports sustained energy
- Rich in Phenolic Compounds: Natural antioxidants that help fight inflammation in the body
- Resistant Starch: Supports gut health and promotes beneficial bacteria growth
- Naturally Gluten-Free: Ideal for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
The combination of cassava flour with probiotic-rich yogurt creates a nutrient-dense bread alternative that's both satisfying and beneficial for your health.
Even better for your Luteal phase:
These comforting dough balls are particularly perfect during your luteal or menstrual phase when your body craves more carbohydrates and comfort foods.
The combination of complex carbs from cassava flour and protein from yogurt helps stabilize blood sugar and mood swings during these phases of your cycle. Plus, they're gentle on digestion when hormone-related gut sensitivity is at its peak as our digestion slows down during this phase.
They're also an excellent option when you're feeling the need for emotional nourishment but want to maintain your commitment to clean eating. The warm, soft texture provides that satisfying comfort food experience while still supporting your body's nutritional needs.
No Baking Experience Required!
Don't let the idea of making bread intimidate you! This recipe is specifically designed for beginners and requires no special baking skills or equipment.
