Rustic Paleo Bread (Grain Free, Low Carb)
This Rustic Paleo Bread blends almond flour, a variety of seeds including chia, sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower, with eggs and olive oil to create a dense, crunchy loaf. The combination of whole seeds and almond flour gives the bread a hearty texture with a satisfying crunch throughout. Baked to a golden brown and cooled before slicing, it yields thin slices that are filling and protein-rich, ideal for a low-carb diet.
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.
