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!

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:

Hi Elana…….I love this paleo bread recipe and I’ve made it several times, mostly it is always wet in the middle……..I do the recipe exactly as written…….I was wondering if someone with a perfect loaf could take the internal temperature of the bread after removing from oven. I took the temperature of mine yesterday and it registered 140 degrees and that’s not enough…….although toothpicks came out dry. I cooked it 35 minutes………should I leave it in for 40 minutes?.. I would love to know the internal temperature for doneness……….I think knowing that would eliminate the wet middle.
Thank you

This has been happening to me too! I make it exactly how the recipe is written. I tried baking it longer and its still hollow in the middle and mushy. It used to come out perfect for me but the last 4 times it has been this way. I just recently moved and made the first loaf in the new oven and same thing!! So frustrating. Maybe cover it with foil and cook it even longer than 35 min? What rack should it be on? Please help!! I can’t live without my paleo bread!!

My son made the Paleo Bread today. It was absolutely awesome. We haven’t been able to find golden flax for a while, so we used some brown flax. Fabulous bread recipe.

I have developed multiple food sensitivities and allergies. I am avoiding almonds and peanuts. This bread looks/sounds good. What could I use instead of the almond flour?
Thanks,
Janet

I have made this bread a few times now and it’s great! I do have a question though. A couple of the times I had a huge hole in the middle of my loaf. I’m not an expert baker, so I’m really not sure how to fix this. It’s not a huge deal except when I go to make sandwiches for my kids :-) Any tips?
Melissa says
Mine had a distinct ammonia scent, which I noticed from the comments was an issue for a few other posters as well. My research tells me not enough acid in my batch to neutralize the soda. I may have left it a bit too long in my processor because my coconut oil was lumpy and I was trying to break it up. It tastes a bit like Irish soda bread, which is not my favorite. I’m thinking of experimenting with baking powder instead to suit my personal preference.
I did love the texture though. Definitely worth a second attempt.

Hello!
I’m allergic to eggs – has anyone ever tried an egg-free version of this bread? What would be recommend as a substitute? I’ve used boiled flax seeds in other recipes in the past before but wondering if it would work in this bread….Thanks!

Hi…I just made the paleo bread and it doesn’t look like the picture. Mine is only 1″ high. No way I could make a sandwich. Any idea what i could have done wrong?
thanks

Hi…I just made the paleo bread, and though it smells great, it is only 1″ high. My hopes for a sandwich for supper are dashed. It doesn’t look like the picture at all. Any guesses as to what I did wrong?
thanks
Patty
Jill says
Yum! I tried this recipe with only adding almond meal since I didn’t have the coconut flour or flax seed. It is good! Looking forward to trying it with the correct ingredients and the right pan size!!
Justin says
This is exactly what I have been looking for.
The only thing I really miss going paleo is something edible to put ingredients on.
It really is so convenient to eat poorly, there should be a law against some of the foods we are allowed to buy and consume.
I’ll be baking mine on the weekend!
