Elena, I have always struggled staying on diets where I can’t have bread. I have made some of your recipes and they are goingbto change the waynineat. Made the Flax focaccia this morning and can’t beleive how delicious it is. I could actually make this for my family and they will eat it. I do have a mild nut allergy and found that I can sub sunflower seed flour for almond flour and get good results with your recipes. I will definitly be buying your cookbook and I’ll tell my friend about it too! Keep posting those great recipes.
Elana says
Chris, so great to hear you and your family are enjoying the flax bread!
Sam Crouchman says
This is amazing! I love flax seeds but have never done anything more adventurous than bunging them in smoothies! And I can’t believe I’m actually saying this but its been requested I make this for pack ups when they go back to school after the holls :o
Elana says
Sam, I’m so happy that you and yours are loving this bread!
Ericanortman says
Love this recipe. We make this low carb bread once a week without the topping and use like we would any other bread. I also spread it out on a pizza pan and bake and then top with pizza toppings.
Elana says
Erica, co glad to hear you and your family love this recipe!
Maria says
Like you, I have become a lover of flax seed! It has a delicious flavour all on its own. I wanted to use this recipe to accompany a paleo pate I’d just made, so I decided to omit the agave. I think they both worked really well together.
As for possible toxicity when heated? I think the jury’s out on that one. I can’t find too much on the internet that convinces me one way or another. I have been using flax seeds in muffins for a long time now.
Thanks Elena
Elana says
You’re welcome Maria!

I have only recently discovered Elana’s books and website, it is an amazing revelation for me as I am a Coeliac who is also Lactose, Fructose and Dairyintolerant.
After recovering from a parasitic infection passed on from my husband who works in Africa ( for those of you who want to know its called Dientamoeba Fragilis and I had it for three years ) I am now also unable to eat grains, this is possibly due to digestive damage by the parasite.
Anyhow I am so thrilled to have found Elanas website and I made the Golden Flaxmeal bread, its wonderful and fills me up!
I went to buy some more Flax from my health shop and they have told me it MUSTNOT be treated with heat as it make Flax unstable and turns it into a bad fat. In fact they REFUSED to sell it to me if I make more bread with it!!!! Im devasted, is this correct? I hope not.
I LOVE THIS BREAD!!
Suzanne:)

It concludes you can bake with flax seed, just don’t cook with flax seed oil. I also found on the Mayo Clinic’s website, they suggest adding ground flax seed to baked goods.
Elana says
Suzanne, I heat flax as I cannot digest it raw and all of my fat levels and metabolism of fatty acids are healthy and normal when I have them tested. You can order flax meal by clicking the green text in the ingredients portion of the recipe. Glad to hear you love the bread!
Lauren says
I have been ADDICTED to this recipe since you posted it! Today I have been baking up a storm and decided to make some variations of this recipe. I just turned it into cinnamon raisin bread by adding 3 tsp of cinnamon and 2/3 cup of raisins and it is DIVINE!!!! I cook it in the 9×13 pyrex and cut it into six large squares which i proceed to slice in half. By cutting it this way it makes the best sandwich bread and fits into the toaster nicely! Thanks Elana!
Elana says
Lauren, we’re addicted to this bread too!

The bread recipes “Dark Rye Bread and Paleo Bread were a great hit with my family and I thought I was missing out on not being able to eat white wheat bread for health reasons. Now I feel so glad I can indulge in that piece of toasted bread out of your recipes. I have tried several recipes and is keen to try more thanks to you Elana.

Hi – I just baked this and I agree that less salt and oil would make it that much better. Still delicious and can’t wait to try the other reader’s comment about avocado on the bread. Yum! Thanks for these wonderful recipes.
