This easy Paleo Bread recipe tastes great and is made with just 7 nutrient dense ingredients. That’s a good thing because “gluten-free” isn’t necessarily healthy, especially when it comes to bread. That’s why I created a gluten-free paleo bread recipe that’s made of high-protein ingredients that won’t leave you dragging. I’m loving every slice that comes from this new paleo diet friendly bread recipe.
Paleo Bread Recipe
This bread is just a bit lighter and fluffier than my other breads. It has a nice nutty flavor from the flax meal which reminds me a little bit of a whole wheat bread. And, it has a lovely little bit of a sweet buttery taste from the almond flour, which adds an incredibly rich quality to baked goods.
Substitutions for Paleo Bread
I’ve been working on this Paleo Bread recipe for several months and have tested it a couple of dozen times. In fact, every time I create a recipe I test each and every ingredient addition or subtraction. That’s why I think it’s kinda funny when people leave comments below recipes (or on Instagram) asking how such and such ingredient substitution will turn out.
Experimenting with Paleo Bread
I wish we didn’t have to test every adjustment to a recipe to figure out if it works. It would save us all so much time and money! If I only had a crystal ball that would give me the answer to all of your substitution questions, I would be so happy. Unfortunately, I don’t. So be adventurous. If you have an idea, test it. Then come back here and let us all know if it works.

Low-Carb Bread
I’ve updated this Paleo Bread recipe to reflect the way we now make it. If you would like to make the original recipe, just add one tablespoon coconut oil and one tablespoon honey. The bread is fantastic either way!

To store this easy Paleo Bread, wrap in a paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
More Easy Paleo Recipes
This gluten-free bread recipe is based on my Bread 2.0. However, this bread does not contain arrowroot so it is a better low-carb bread recipe. Paleo Bread has a fabulous nutrition profile that has more of the healthy protein and fat that we all need! Here are some of my other healthy paleo recipes:

I made this recipe and following the instructions carefully but my bread looked completely different from the picture depicted. Any suggestions?

Yikes!
I just made this and it tastes like brushing my teeth with baking soda! Thank goodness I tasted the batter before it went into the oven. I added an extra 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey, then 1 teaspoon of vanilla to try to cut the bakingsoda flavor. I didn’t know what else to do- I didn’t want a sweet loaf but it was too astringent to eat. I ended up with a neutral (not sweet) tasting loaf that still tasted soda-ish. Very metallic tasting.
Does anyone know if you can cut the 1 1/2 tsp. bakingsoda to perhaps 1 tsp soda and 1/2 tsp. baking powder? Maybe the acv is contributing to that taste? I won’t be making this again. Does anyone have any other bread recommendations?

Thank you so much for all the work you do on recipes. I had been craving – really really craving – a sandwich. Somehow, having a sandwich, even more than having a pizza, or a piece of cake or pie, seems “normal” to me. So, I finally got all the ingredients, and made your bread. I used egg whites and a couple of whole eggs, and they ended up being more liquid that you used, so I had to leave the bread in the oven quite a bit longer than 30 minutes. But when it came out, and finally cooled, I had a sandwich. Thank you so much.

So I went to my kitchen to make this bread (again because I LOVE it) and thought I had run out of coconut oil. I decided to try making it with the grapeseed oil since I happened to have a brand new bottle on hand. That was the prettiest and best tasting loaf I’ve made yet! From now on, I’m using the grapeseed oil in this recipe! YUM!
Oh, and if anyone is wondering… when I first wanted to make this bread, I had hubby buy the flaxseed meal for me. He didn’t buy golden, just regular. I actually like the color and flavor of the regular flaxseed meal =)

I like this recipe, as far as wheat-free bread goes it’s much better than rice bread. I do have to bake for a longer time though, about 45 minutes. I slice it up and freeze it and it’s great from the toaster! Thank you.

I want to make this over the weekend and have one question regarding the coconut oil: should I measure it in its solid form or should it be warmed more to a liquid and then measured. I did not see anything on the ingredient page about this.

I am wondering if you can do more recipes with Stevia. I can’t do any sugar or anything with an glycemic index and so far have done pretty well in substituting stevia for agave. But I would LOVE to see more recipes with stevia in them so there is no guessing required. Especially breakfast foods and desserts :)
amanda says
this is a great recipe! I am not full-on paleo, primal, or other, but like to experiment. This one is a keeper. I followed the recipe pretty much to the point, just adding in a tablespoon of hemp protein powder (pure hemp) with the flour mixture. It has wonderful flavor and I’m looking forward to having it with some almond butter tonight. Thanks for all your testing! You’ve made happy recipients out of many of us :)

i have been following your web page and i have made soooooo many things that my family loves the best being kale chips my 2 year old takes the bowl and runs away so no one can eat them. I am very very alergic to coconut. do you have any gluten free paleo like bread ideas to make? I live to make as much as possible from scratch.. i cant have gluten and my daughter and husband cant have dairy. if you have any ideas let me know. thank you so much I am such a big fan!
