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:

I made this bread yesterday and subbed flaxseed meal for the eggs and it came out great! I also didn’t have such a small baking dish to make the bread as thick as the picture – so my bread looks more like biscotti when sliced ? Elana, thank you for your incredible recipes. All the ones I’ve tried have turned out spectacular!
Elana says
You’re welcome Mirela!

Hi Elana
My Daughter is now new to gluten fee / sugar free and honey/free . I was wondering if any subsitude sugar will do . such as Xylitol , Splenda, Sorbitol .I do want to try it asap, as I see all Bread recipes contain Honey ..
Elana says
Hi Rifky, here’s a link to all of my bread recipes that do not contain any sweetener:

I’ve found that using a little less flour is best, like 1/4 cup less. I add one more tablespoon of honey and blueberries, and make muffins. Fresh out of the oven with a dollop of butter – now that is pure SCD heaven!
Elana says
Albert, so glad you enjoyed!
Paula says
I’m probably overlooking but where can I find the nutritional information for this recipe (and others)? Thank you!

I am curious as to how you would substitute the almond flour and eggs for a person who is also allergic to those? I am allergic to dairy, gluten, eggs, soy, peanut butter, corn, coffee and chocolate, plus almonds and a few fishes. I have yet to find a bread recipe that is allergy free for me.
Elana says
Ginger, here’s a link to one of my baked goods recipes that is both egg-free and nut-free for you:

I know it’s not bread, but thought you might like it. Remove the chocolate chips and you’ll be good to go!

Lena, thanks for your comment. If you use the recommended size baking pan, the bread will be the proper height. If you use a pan that is bigger than the one I used, your bread won’t fill the pan up. Here’s an example –if you place 1/2 cup of water in a 1/2 measuring cup it will be 100% full to the top of the cup. If you put the same 1/2 cup of water in a 1 cup measuring cup it will only fill it 50% and will only be 1/2 full in height. That’s why a loaf pan that is too large doesn’t work for this recipe when it comes to the height of the loaf :-)
Joan says
My husband is allergic to almonds so substituted the almond flour for chestnut flour as one of the posts suggested. The batter was dry and dough like. It tastes good but did not rise. I am going to try David’s suggestions, but Elana, if you have any suggestions I would love it. Been paleo for over a year and it is challenging with a husband that has LOTS of allergies.
thanks
Elana says
Hi Joan, I haven’t ever used chestnut flour, so not sure. Sorry I can’t be of more help :-)
Ronnie says
Hi Elana,
A question about the baking pan. Aren’t you worried it made out of aluminum?
Thanks, Ronnie
Elana says
Hi Ronnie, if you are worried about aluminum you can line the pan with parchment paper.
Anita Gennaro says
Elana…thank you so much for the invaluable recipes
Elana says
Anita, thanks so much for your lovely comment!
Rebecca says
Thank you so much for this fantastic recipe. We used it last week in a challah ‘braided’ silicone pan and it was perfect for our Friday night dinner. We’ll be using it weekly.
Thanks :)
Elana says
Rebecca, that’s fantastic! Shabbat Shalom :-)
Elizabeth says
Just started and was stressing about challah situation, and I can’t wait to try this! I am guessing you need a pan for this…
Debra says
Do any of your bread recipes work for a bread machine with a gluten free setting. I want to purchase a bread maker but I want to make a healthy gluten free bread as well has watch the carb count for a diabetic family member? I have loved every recipe of yours that I have tried from this site as well as what I have tried from your cookbooks that I have as well.Thanks
Elana says
Hi Debra, I’m not sure since I don’t own a bread machine. I keep the appliances in my kitchen to a minimum as I don’t like counter or cabinet clutter!
aharon says
Do you have any other suggestion on getting the loaf pan since Amazon doesn’t have it?
Elana says
Hi Aharon, we have been using this loaf pan. It’s not quite as good as the original, but close :-)
