Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the baking powder and salt are evenly distributed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula or spoon until a thick batter forms. Let the mixture sit for about 2-3 minutes to allow the flaxseed meal to absorb the liquid and thicken further.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top if needed.
Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, toasted, or topped with your favorite spreads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze for longer storage.
