Default Bread with no grain, no egg yolks - is it possible?

I had to quit eating eggs, as the yolks are high in arachidonic acid, and that aggravates bursitis and arthritis.

So I'm looking for a new low-carb bread recipe - without egg yolks, and without grain (coconut flour, almond flour OK) but I can't seem to find one. I've clicked and clicked and clicked (too bad clicking isn't considered exercise) and can't find one.

Does anyone know of one?

Thanks,
Bob

I make a flat bread out of ground flaxseed and chia - though you can leave out the chia if you want. I just make one slice at a time because that's all I eat for lunch, but it would be easy to double or triple up.

2 TBSP of ground flaxseed
2 TBSP of water
1 tsp of chia (optional)

Mix, and place in the fridge to set - it starts out very liquidy, but it will firm up. I mix it at breakfast time, and finish it up at lunchtime - but you don't have to wait that long.
So when I am ready to make my lunch, I spread out the thickened mixture on parchment paper into a rough square, and microwave for 2 minutes. Place it on a rack to cool a few minutes, and my slice of bread is ready to make into a sandwich, or roll it up with a tasty spread.

In an effort to use up egg whites, I've made the revolution rolls with egg whites only, a few Tbsp ground flax seed, and... I don't remember what else. Probably a few Tbsp mayo. I've made them a few different times with different ingredients and they turned out decent.

(ETA) Flax is often used as a vegan substitute for eggs, so you might be able to find some recipes googling that way (as loathe as you might be to look up 'vegan' recipes. )

Coconut bread using egg whites: http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/toasted-sub-sandwich-and-panini/

Here is one I like. It calls for a whole egg but you can probably go with the whites: http://www.healthextremist.com/coconut-flour-loaf-bread-recipe/
