Most of us were raised with bread as a staple. When you were diagnosed with celiac or gluten-intolerance, and found out you were going on the gluten-free diet, what’s the first food you thought about having to give up? Most likely bread.
I went gluten-free in 1998, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. The gluten-free diet did not get the job done and my gut was still cranky. So, in 2001 I went on the paleo diet. Since then, I’ve been both gluten and grain-free, and written a ton of paleo bread recipes. All of my bread recipes are quick breads, and they’re far more nutritious, low-carb, and easy to make than regular bread. I’ve tested all of these recipes several dozen times to perfect them for you.
Once they’re good to go, the process of making these paleo breads couldn’t be easier. It goes like this. Throw a bunch of ingredients in a food processor, and hit the “on” button to mix up the batter. Then, transfer it to a pan and bake it. The biggest challenge I have making these is to get the oven to heat as quickly as I can get the bread batter ready for it.

Finally, here’s a couple of tips for making my paleo bread recipes. Use the recommended ingredients, i.e., when the recipe calls for almond flour, don’t use almond meal, as it won’t work in the recipe and the results will be poor. In addition, use the recommended brands of ingredients. You can find those be clicking on the green text in the ingredients portion of each recipe. Additionally, use the specific pan sized called for in each of these recipes. If the pan you use is bigger than the pan I recommend, your bread will be flat.

Can eggs be added to your breakfast bar recipe?
Elana says
Ginny, I haven’t tried that but wouldn’t recommend. What about this recipe instead:

I’m loving all of your recipes across the site – easy for me to make and actually eaten by my picky kids! What size food processor would you recommend for most of your recipes? Is a 7 cup too small?
Thank you!
Elana says
Hi Kim, thanks for your comment and question! This is the food processor that I use :-)

Thanks Barbara!

Hi! Is it possible to make these without a food processor? Would the dough need to be kneaded the old fashioned way? I’m dying for bread again without the arsenic in the rice flour in the gluten free brands at the market.
Elana says
Julia, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)

Hi, I have fatty liver and esophagitis/gastritis. I’ve been no grain for almost 4 months now. Love that your recipes can satisfy that “carb” craving. But I can’t have sugar (just Stevia) and need to stay low fat because of the gastritis. Suggestions?
Elana says
