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!
How To Store Paleo Bread
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 forgot to say that I discovered your website at Passover time and I’m hooked. My kids love your recipes and want me to always re-bake anything I have tried from your site.
I do change the ingredients slightly as I am low-carbing trying to lose weight.
You give so much to so many and I’m sure you aren’t even aware how far your fame has spread. (I live in Israel).

Elana,
Rosh Hashana recipes paleo/primal/low-carb please ;-).

Just tasted this….excellent. Much fluffier than 2.0, though similar in flavor. I used coconut palm sugar syrup (boiled 1/2c water, added 1c organic coconut palm sugar, reduced heat for 3 min until dissolved, let cool before using, store in mason jar in fridge) which I use to replace any sweetener in baking…agave, honey, etc. Worked great in this as well. So moist too. Awesome texture! Thanks Elana!

I love this idea for a sweet syrup. Think I’ll try it in place of agave in some recipes and see how it works. I’m just not an agave fan.
Donna says
OMG…Could your FABULOUS coconut palm syrup/recipe be used/considered as the ultra-expensive COCONUT NECTAR?..If so…this is sheer BRILLIANCE as it has provided a needed “Eureka” moment for me in my quest for a low glycemic substitute for agave or honey..Is the resulting syrup suitable for use in this fashion in baking?…Thank you so much for contributing your wonderful idea.
Donna says
OOPS…Meant to direct my comment (Donna)@Christina and her coconut palm sugar syrup recipe..Thanks!

Elans, I love your recipe books and daily email recipes. Thank you for all of the work that you put into them! I can’t wait to try this bread. Have you tried making donuts? Carmie

Thanks for this recipe and all the tweeking that went into it. I was too rushed in town (Vancouver,B.C.) yesterday to make it to the store to buy a new gluten-free bagel they now carry (baker from Colorado!)(if you can believe it!),so now I can satisfy the craving with this recipe. I have been using your Traditional Irish Soda Bread as my mainstay (use to be the carrot cake cupcakes with added grated apple,poppy seeds, dates…) and at Easter I was missing the taste of Hot Cross Buns so I added 1/4cup currants, 1tsp cinnamon, 1/4tsp nutmeg, dash of clove & allspice and 1/4cup diced candied peel to the soda bread and it was a great substitute. Last week I tried adding dates to the mix but hit critical load and got to eat tasty crumbs!
I really appreciate, like everyone else, all the time, care and attention you give to helping us be healthy. I hope to visit that bakery and all the gluten-free restaurants in Denver when we attend the Denver Coliseum Gem Show in September. Thanks for the guidance/support.

hi – thanks for the recipe…we LOVE all your recipes in your books and blogs..and we are a Paleo and dairy free..Paleo my husband and son HAS to because of dairy intolerance. I would like to mention that those following a strict Paleo diet need to omit the Flax. Flax is not a paleo ingredient as it is a cultivated grain. I have omitted the flax in your recipes when called for and you never miss it. Thanks again for all of your hardwork and recipes!!!

I am so very excited to try this; thank you Elana!!
Carmen says
Thank you for this bread recipe. We (My 14 year old son and I) truly appreciate all of the effort you put into this site and your books. We just got the cupcake one and he is planning which recipes to try first. He has really been missing bread, but can not have arrowroot powder. I can’t wait to surprise him with this one! You rock!!!

Elana,
You are wonderful I have made most of your other breads and they are great! This sounds even better! I will make it later today along with my homemade yogurt and kombucha tea! I am not brave about experimenting but I love that you are, and are willing to share!
Thanks Jean

This recipe looks excellent! I am looking forward to trying it; it’s very hard to find nutritious gluten free bread.
