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:

has anyone tried to put any of these bread recipes into a breadmaker?? I’m curious to hear.
I’m thinking the loaf size would be possibly odd, since the shape of the pan is unusual in breadmakers.
Amy says
sorry…just read farther up…nevermind!

I made the amended version of this yesterday (in the Parrish pan) and it turned out great. I have an oven thermometer that confirmed the 350-degree oven temperature, but the bread took another ten minutes (40 altogether) in the oven before it toothpick-tested done. Testing for doneness this way is nothing more than I would expect of any kind of baking. The bread tastes wonderful.
I’m new to the whole GF thing – I don’t have a physical need/condition for eating grain free, but the whole concept of this healthy way of eating intrigues me, so I’m just “testing the waters.” It is very generous that Elana shares her recipes for free so that I can give it a try before jumping in with both feet – and when/if I do, I’ll be buying her recipe books. Great blog.
Louise says
Was very excited to try this recipe (amended version) because it did not call for rice flour and because it was GF and Paleo. However, after spending the $15.00 + $11.00(s/h) for the pan, and the cost of the ingredients, I am very disappointed. Bread looked good and spelled good until cutting it and found that the center was raw, gooey, and smelled bad. Had to throw it all away.

Same with me. Looking for same solution!
Alena says
I accidentally forgot mine when my “timer” didn’t remind me. I remembered it and pulled it out after it had been in the oven an extra 13 minutes. It was almost perfect. I also just whisked vigorously as my processor is missing since the last move. I will definitely make it again, but I will likely play with it a bit as I am hoping to find a few versions to make regularly to replace my family’s usual bread. Even our most finicky eater is loving these recipes so far. Thank you!
Laurie says
I just read under the banana paleo bread that someone cooked this paleo bread for 50 min at 325. I will use that temp and time next time I attempt this.
Cynthia says
I just made this bread and it was AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing the love.
I know Elana cannot respond due to all the awesome comments she gets. Could someone else let me know if I should refrigerate this bread. Thanks!
Leonie says
I am so addicted to this bread I’ve gone through several loaves since i discovered the recipe a couple of weeks ago. Even got the approval from my boyfriend who eats everything, and I’m not sure he knew how healthy it was. I experimented with using Chia Seed instead of flax because I had some soaking that needed to be used. Follow the recipe the but instead of flax liquefy about 1/4 cup chia seeds (soaked, they doubled in volume) in vitamix and add them to the food processor at the end, it will seem like a lot because they fluff up in the vitamix. Loaf turned out so delicious and moist, with no tunnel action like i had in my previous loaves. Chia has a slightly bitter taste in comparison to nutty flax seeds, so if you don’t like the bitterness you can add more sweetener.

I have made both versions of this delicious recipe, and find the “amended version” works best for me. Keep up the good work, Elana. I’m enjoying many of your recipes since discovering I am gluten intolerant. Thanks.
Lorain says
I don’t know why I hesitated making this, maybe the thought of being disappointed with yet another gluten free bread recipe ?
Well, let me say that this is very good! Made the recipe, original, with 4 eggs as recommended by another poster and it was perfection. I do have a mild egg allergy so getting rid of one egg was great.
Bought the smaller pan as recommended in the recipe.
Can’t stop nibbling!
Stacy says
Can I sub the honey? I cannot have honey.
Kathleen says
Try agave.
RaeAnn says
Has anyone tried to make this bread with a substitute for the eggs? I actually can separate and still use the egg yolk, my son CAN’T have the egg white. He really misses bread and I’d love to provide something for him. He has Crohn’s disease.

Have you tried Egg Replacer like the kind by “Ener-G”. The back of the box says “No eggs or egg derivatives”. Just mix with water.

RaeAnn says
Elana, Is there any way to take any of your paleo bread recipes and substitute the eggs whites in them successfully? My son can have yolks, just not whites. He misses bread so much.
