To store this bread, wrap in a paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
This low-carb, high-protein, gluten-free bread is a cinch to make. It is especially tasty toasted, then topped with almond-butter, raspberry jam, and a sprinkle of salt. Add a second slice of bread to it and you’ve got a paleo PBJ!
Here are some of my other low-carb gluten-free bread recipes:

Thank you Elana for this recipe. I tried the Simple Bread recipe last week with fantastic results! Although I used a larger pan than the recipe calls for, and ended up with a slightly ‘smaller’ loaf, I was quite pleased. The best part? It stayed much fresher, much longer than most bread recipes I’ve tried in the past. It sat on my kitchen counter wrapped in tin foil for about a week and was lovely until the last slice. I’m going to try doubling the recipe and baking one large loaf. I’ll post my results as soon as I do. Lovely site, Thanks again.

Dawn,
You could try my recipes with coconut flour in them. Also, about 50% of my recipes are nut free.
Take a look at my salad, chicken and beverage recipes too. Or just browse around my site, I’m sure you’ll find something that can work for you.
Thanks,
Elana

How much coconut flour?? I tried this (same amount as almond flour) and it didn’t work.. thanks
Amanda says
To the individual using coconut flour for which the recipe did not work: (sorry I’ve lost the comment I was on)
Generally gluten-free flours are not interchangable 1:1. Elana has made this recipe to work with almond flour. That is not to say it won’t work with coconut flour, but you will have to change the amounts(Gluten-free flours have different densities) or add another flour to it (I find the best results come from a mixture of flours). In which case you will be making an entirely different bread.

I am enjoying looking at all the recipes that you have put together. I have been instructed by my Dr. to avoid gluten… The problem that i am finding is that most recipes that are gluten free have nuts. Which i am highly allergic to. Any suggestions?
elana says
Diane,
I only use almond flour and sometimes coconut flour in my recipes. I have only used almond flour for my bread recipe. So, I wouldn’t know what you could substitute.
I address substitutions on my FAQ page.
You can also post your question in the forums.

My granddaughter is unable to have almonds, what flour would you substitute?
Tup says
You might Try hazelnut flour. I used that in place of almond flour in Elana’s carrot cake recipe, and it turned out great. (It was Bob’s Red Mill–their hazelnut flour seems finer and fluffier than their almond flour.)

Mell,
This is the only bread recipe I have. It does have almond flour and eggs as these are essential ingredients in the majority of my baked goods.
You may want to post your question in the forums to see if any of my other readers have any suggestions or solutions for you.
You can also just try searching google as well.

Hi Elana….I was wondering if you have any recipes for bread that has no dairy,gluten,eggs,rice,almonds or soya in it as iv just found out that my 3 year old daughter is allergic to these things and many more.
My life is so full on at the moment trying to find things for my little girl to eat,its very hard-on top of all that my daughter cant have her almond milk anymore(your recipe)and she loved it so much-i cant find any milk substitute for her.
I would be very grateful for any help,thank you from mell

Hi Mell,
I’m replacing eggs in this recipe with milled flax seeds and water. It’s in the oven right now so lets see how it goes.
By the way Elana I love your site, its changing my life, lost 10 lbs already. Thank you so much.

Can she have coconut milk? It’s quite tasty and has lots of good for you stuff in it.

Christa,
This is indeed a frequently asked question; please see my FAQ’s for the answer.

Hi Elana
Can either white or brown rice flour be used in the place of the almond flour for the bread?? I am allergic to wheat (gluten) and looking for all kinds of baking goodies to make. Thanks for your site its wonderful. Am from South Africa and some of the ingredients are not easily available here.

Mel– Per your question, I have added an “International” section to my FAQ’s which will provide you with a link that converts Celsius to Fahrenheit. I think this will help! Let me know how it goes.
Janie -As long as it wasn’t burned and it tasted good, then I think it’s ok. Maybe your oven is a little hotter and browned the outside of the bread. Some of the “golden” tones in the photo above are from the reflection of the silver background onto the bread. I hope this helps :-)
