Still a little confused on how many carbs per slice this has. Went to the link and was unable to find it. That being said, I made this again, toasted it and put some almond butter on it. Delish!!

BRIDGET HICKEY says
what is the odor from my bread that I cannot define,
Whether from the Flax bread or the paleo bread with almond flour
Everything I use is organic and just as Elena suggests
I am wondering if its from so much egg
Any suggestions will be appreciated
I love my breads
Just having trouble getting beyond the odor
Elana says
Bridget, usually this is the case when one or more of your ingredients is not fresh. I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot this if you’d like :-)
BRIDGET HICKEY says
Elana
I was using ”California” Olive oil and after trying different oils I discovered the oil was my issue
Thank you for your wonderful you

Fio says
Hi Elana, what do you think about heating flaxseeds oils? I personally thought it was going rancid very quickly even when left at room temperature so i would never cook with flax meal as their heated (and re heated when toasting the bread) oils would be rancid therefore toxic.
I would appreciate your opinion on this matter : )
Thank you
Fio
Elana says
Fio, I can’t digest raw flax seed so heating it is a good solution for me.
ann ballard says
I am allergic to nuts…what do you recommend as a substitute for almond flour in your recipes?
Thanks much
Ann
Elana says
Ann, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Nut-Free Recipes page for you:

Mariani says
Hi Elana,
can I substitute golden flaxseed meal for the brown flaxmeal? I can only find brown flaxseed in the store not the flax meal.
thanks,
Mariani
Elana says
Mariani, I haven’t tried that so not certain, but it might work. If you experiment please let us know how it goes :-)
Mil says
Love this bread! Made it first time today and it’s perfect. Due to my digestive disorder I have to be grain free, but my little girl is allergic to nuts so this is a bread everyone can eat.
Thank you so much for sharing these recipes Elana!!! Amazing!!

Gretchen says
I love love love this flax bread!!! I live alone and have a hard time not snacking on it so much that its gone in 2 days! I am sugar free so instead of honey I used 2 packets of stevia and I didn’t use cream of tartar but only because I didn’t have any. Thank you so much for a great go-to faux bread!
Elana says
Gretchen, so great to hear you love love love this flax bread!
Lara Hornbeck says
Hi Elana, I’m the only one who really likes this focaccia in my house, I’m also the only one who’s gluten free! I made it to go with our egg scramble this morning and my son said that he thought it would make a good honey cake. And indeed, it did remind me of the recipe for Tishpishti, a Turkish honey cake that is based on walnuts and already gf, that was going around in our community last Rosh HaShannah. We did a preliminary trial by poking holes in pieces of the focaccia and drizzling with honey. Surprise, surprise, everyone loved it! I’ll have to dig out that recipe and play around. Thanks for all of your amazing recipes, hard work and positive, supportive attitude! Best, Lara
Elana says
Lara, so glad to hear you enjoyed this bread!
chris says
I have been home recovering from a concussion and there isn’t much I can do but rest to get better. A few weeks before I found this website and have been cooking up healthy meals to keep me busy. I have been making the flax focaccia and love it, I did sub canola oil for the olive oil because I like the mild taste.
Today I decided to experienment: instead of using 5 eggs as called for in the recipe, I used 3 eggs and 1 mashed banana. Everything else was the same accept for subbing canola oil. I also added 1 cup of blueberries. I defrosted some I had in the freezer, but fresh would be great. The results were delicious. The only thing I would do next time is to add a little more agave or stevia to sweeten a little more.
Thank you for all the great recipes.
Chris
Well definitely make this again.
Elana says
Chris, so glad you liked the bread!
