Egg Free Paleo Bread Recipe

Ahhhh Bread! My favourite food in the world and the thing I miss most of all.  There is nothing better than a big slab of granary toast with butter, or a crusty baguette dipped in olive oil, or a gooey Focaccia or toasted bagels in the morning..

Unfortunately, none of that is available to me (or at least if I ate it I’d feel awful for the next couple of days and it may even result in a flare of my Lupus).  I had to come up with an alternative.  It’s definitely not an option to forgo bread completely.  I love my smashed avocado on toast too much and you can’t have boiled eggs without soldiers! So, I have created a pretty good, (actually fairly fantastic), Grain Free Sandwich Bread recipe!  It’s made using mainly Almond Butter

Paleo

This results in a pretty dense loaf, but sliced very thinly it’s really satisfying.  It doesn’t fall apart or go crumbly (like most Grain Free Bread).  It holds together well for a sandwich, and is even better toasted.  I’ve yet to find something it can’t be a bread-type replacement for.  I use it toasted alongside my Spicy Butternut Squash Soup, as a base for my Eggs Benedict and plenty of other recipes.

Paleo Banana Bread (super Moist)

So here’s the recipe that I use.  I tinkered with and adapted it from many that I’ve seen in books and online.  I think I’ve got it down to a fine art now.

Preheat your fan oven to 180C (350F) and line a loaf tin with a parchment loaf tin liner.  I like to use these Loaf Tin Liners

Just because I find them so easy.  If not, you could always just cut some greaseproof paper to size and use that.  Or possibly grease the tin instead (although I can’t vouch for that method).   For the base I use Crunchy Almond Butter

Low Carb Cinnamon Bread (grain Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free)

As I like the roasted nutty taste and the small pieces of nuts in it.  If you wanted a less powerful tasting nut butter you could use Cashew Butter

Spooning the almond butter into a mixing bowl, you then add the almond flour, eggs, all the different seeds and the teaspoons of salt & pepper.  I choose to use a mix of sunflower, pumpkin seeds and pine nuts in my loaf.  I like the mix of flavours and always have them in the kitchen.  You could use sesame seeds or any nuts you have to hand.  Alternatively, leave them out altogether if you prefer.  Then add the bicarbonate of soda and mix everything together.  It takes a bit of time and elbow grease to get everything incorporated.  The mixture will be really sloppy.  It’s more like a cake batter and not like a dough at all.  And that’s it, it’s pretty much a one bowl recipe.

(which is 9×5 inches).  In a tin that size it should come fairly near the top.  This Grain Free Sandwich Bread doesn’t rise all that much, maybe just a centimetre or so above the top of the tin.  At this point you can top the loaf with anything you want.  I like to add some coarse sea salt, ground black pepper and poppy seeds but it’s down to personal preference here.

Seed And Nut Sandwich Bread

Then the tin goes into the oven for 35-40 mins or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle.  Once baked, turn it out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool down completely.

I’m always desperate to try it straight out of the oven, but it really doesn’t cut very well when it’s warm.  It’s best to leave it to cool down and then you can get decent slices from it.

This is the only version of Grain Free Sandwich Bread that I’ve ever tried but there are a few ideas I have in my head to change things up a bit.  I’m going to try some alternatives in the near future.  For other savoury loaves I want to try olive or sundried tomato loaves.  I have to check how it works with the moist ingredients.

I have also thought of a sweeter loaf, taking out the salt and pepper and adding in honey, raisins and cinnamon.  It would make a kind of breakfast bread but again I need to see how the honey affects the mixture and the baking.  

There are plenty of different combinations of the dry ingredients that you can use though and these shouldn’t affect the bake at all.

This bread toasts amazingly well.  I prefer it toasted actually – it holds together very well.  You just have to turn the toaster down lower than you would for standard bread.  The high fat content from the nut oils means that it burns quite quickly!!

Almond & Linseed Paleo Bread

Is expensive.   I think it works out at about £12 a loaf, but it lasts for ages.  It’s so dense and rich that I get more than 20 slices out of it if I slice it very thinly.  It freezes very well so I tend to cut it into thirds.  I freeze two of them and keep one in the fridge.  Wrapped in foil or in tupperware in the fridge, it keeps for about 10 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Soft, Fluffy Gluten Free Bread (dairy Free)

Egg and dairy are common ingredients in keto bread recipes. But many people prefer to eat dairy-free and some don't do well with eggs.

After many tries I finally arrived at the version I am sharing with you today. This loaf is soft and fluffy, like aproper artisan wholemeal bread.

It is a gluten-free psyllium husk bread that does not contain egg or dairy. This means it is no only low carb but also paleo friendly.

Easy Gluten Free Bread {dairy Free}

Low carb flours such as almond flour or coconut flour are grain free and therefore do not contain gluten. It is the gluten that makes regular dough elastic. Using egg in low carb bread is an easy way to add lightness and stability in the absence of gluten.

If you want to make a fluffy no egg keto bread, use psyllium husk. Psyllium is a soluble prebiotic fiber. It is sourced from the husks of the psyllium plant. It is very low in carbs, because our bodies cannot break it down.

Eggless

When mixed with water, psyllium forms a gel and increases in volume by up to twenty times. There is your fluffiness without egg or gluten.

Yes, it is a great source of fiber, whether you're using it to make psyllium husk bread or simply add it to yoghurt or smoothies. Fiber is important for a healthy gut and it helps to keep you full and satisfied. Tip: When you add psyllium to your diet, be sure to drink plenty of water.

It has a fluffy crumb with little air pockets. The crust is brown and crunchy. Inside it is moist and not dry at all. The bread is easy to slice, just like regular bread. It toasts well.

Almond flour for this recipe. It is ground from whole almonds (with skins) rather than blanched almonds, which gives the bread a lovely rustic flavour.

The Best Paleo Nut And Seed Bread

It is milled much finer than the regular ground almonds I normally use and helped give the loaf a very light texture. In the UK, you can get it from Wholefoods and online.

You should be able to use the same amount of blanched super-fine almond flour. My guess is that you'd need to increase the amount by about 10% if you use ground almonds or almond meal as they are coarser.

Flax is another brilliant source of fiber. If you buy milled or ground flaxseed meal, store it in the freezer after opening. It oxidises and can go rancid.

Egg

Healthy 5 Minute Gluten Free Paleo Bread

I used whole psyllium husk and ground it to a powder in my food processor. I find this yields a better texture than store-bought psyllium husk powder.

Some psyllium brands turn purple when baked. I have used BonPom, Green Origins and Just Naturals without issues. The NOW brand in the US is also supposed to be fine.

Low Carb Almond Flour Bread (gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Step 1:Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to evenly disperse the baking powder through the mix.

Step 3:Rest the dough to let the psyllium husk powder absorb all the moisture. The dough will still be a little sticky.

Shape the dough: For a bread that is domed, shape it before placing it in the pan. Don't press it down too much or the crumb can become dense.
