Gluten free bread- an experiment

I love bread- it's wonderful and glorious and joyfully filled with carbs. But... I also live with people who cannot have bread. The idea of life without bread- that magnificent dietary staple seemed depressing. It did until I found a recipe for gluten free flaxseed based bread. It sounds good- in theory and the first few bites were ok but it was off somehow.  The texture was close to regular bread, the rosemary and oregano helped to flavor the bread, and yet there was an aftertaste. I'm not going to give up on finding an alternative to bread but this recipe is going in the trash.
