Rustic Paleo Bread (Grain Free, Low Carb)
Description
Rustic Paleo Bread (Grain Free, Low Carb) uses almond flour combined with multiple types of seeds and eggs to form a dense, textured loaf. The seeds are briefly pulsed to break them down slightly while retaining crunch, contributing to a coarse and hearty crumb. This loaf bakes at a moderate temperature until lightly browned on top, then is cooled completely to ensure clean slicing. The finished bread has a firm texture and nutty flavor with a satisfying seed crunch throughout.
This bread is low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for grain-free and paleo diets. Slices are best cut thin due to the bread’s density and richness. It can be eaten as a high-protein breakfast or a snack, and pairs well with savory or sweet toppings.
The recipe yields about 20 slices, each approximately 4 grams net carbs. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, pre-slice and freeze the bread for up to three months.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup almond flour 150g
- ½ cup chia seeds 80g
- ½ cup sesame seeds 70g
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds 140g
- 1 cup sunflower seeds 140g
- 5 egg medium, or 4 large
- 2 tablespoon olive oil 27ml
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 Celsius/ 340 Fahrenheit (electric).
- Place the almond flour and eggs in a food processor and mix. You can also do this in a big bowl with a stick blender.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blitz briefly until the seeds are broken down a bit. You want to keep a decent crunch.
- Form the dough into a loaf and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
- Cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- Cut slices thin because the bread is dense and filling; one slice weighs about 40 grams.
- Store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- Pre-slicing before freezing makes it easy to defrost only the portions you want; freeze for up to 3 months.
