Paleo Bread – Great for Toasting

July 26, 2018 By Angie 5 Comments

With a lovely 'wholemeal' flavour, this grain free Paleo Bread is great for toasting. Make it, slice it, freeze it - it's perfect for weekend breakfasts. Serve it with boiled eggs and homemade mayonnaise. Slather it with butter and honey. Top it with thinly sliced, perfectly ripe avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice. Or finely chop sun dried tomatoes, and let the oil soak in.

Paleo Bread, Great for Toasting

Looking for the recipe? Scroll all the way down! This recipe for Paleo Bread is a revised and improved version of Paleo Bread with Cassava Flour and Flaxseeds. It's much better than before. The wholesome flavour is still there, but this recipe is easier. The ingredients have been tweaked and the instructions refined. This bread rises beautifully, it's very stable, and it's just right for toasting. Do what I do: bake a loaf, slice it, wrap it, and freeze it. Then just pull out a couple of slices when the moment is right. This Paleo Bread is great for toasting and has a lovely 'wholemeal' flavour. Make it, slice it, freeze it - it's perfect for weekend breakfasts.   For some people - myself included - the 'old' recipe worked fine. But for others, nothing was happening. So I got experimenting and researching, and I seem to have come up with a combination of flour, fat, liquids and eggs that results in as good a Paleo Bread as you're ever going to get.   With a lovely 'wholemeal' flavour, this grain free Paleo Bread is great for toasting. Make it, slice it, freeze it - it's perfect for weekend breakfasts

Baking is a Science

Baking is a science, and it's all about ratio's. The ratio's are always measured by weight, not by mass. So, when you see ingredients listed as 'cups', it's just for convenience so you don't have to get out the scales. "1 1/2 cups of flour", for example, really means  "150 grams". The standard weight - or 'part' - will then be duplicated or divided, depending on the desired outcome. Different quantities of flour, fat, liquid, egg, and sometimes sugar, will result in crepes or biscuits, pound cake or muffins. The tricky part is that the portion of liquid includes the egg. You need to weigh the eggs, and then add enough water to complete the weight. With a lovely 'wholemeal' flavour, this grain free Paleo Bread is great for toasting. Make it, slice it, freeze it - it's perfect for weekend breakfasts   Pastry chefs know that a pie dough requires 3 parts flour, 2 parts fat and 1 part liquid, and that a cookie is perfect with a ratio of 3 parts flour, 2 parts fat and 1 part egg. For this Paleo Bread, given that we don't have the elasticity of gluten or the rising qualities of yeast, I've followed the ratio for a quick bread or muffin: 2 parts flour, 2 parts liquid, 1 part egg, and 1 part fat. The '2 parts flour' is a mix of cassava flour, ground linseeds and coconut flour. Whilst experimenting, I discovered: 1 1/2 cups cassava flour + 1/2 cup linseeds (ground to make one cup) + 1/2 cup coconut flour = a light bread with puffy air holes, but which retains a little moisture in the centre. 2 cups cassava flour + 1/2 cup linseeds (ground to make one cup) + 1/2 cup coconut flour = a heavier bread with fewer air holes, but which is drier in the centre. In both cases - 1 1/2 cups or 2 - you'll have a great bread for slicing and toasting. Aside from adjusting the quantities of the ingredients, I've simplified the rising agents - no more baking soda and vinegar. Instead, I've just increased the baking powder. Because most baking powders on the market contain cornstarch or other undesirables, I make my own baking powder. Here's how it's done:

How to Make Paleo Baking Powder

Paleo Baking Powder
  • 2 parts baking soda
  • 1 part cream of tartar
  • 1 part tapioca starch
I measure it out in tablespoons, sift it through a fine sieve a couple of times, then store it in a my old Baking Powder container. You might want to do the same and use it for all of the recipes that you find here on the blog - that way you're most likely to get the same results. The other big difference between the old recipe and the new one is that I've added coconut flour. Coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid than other flours, and so the addition of coconut flour helps to dry out the loaf and make it more bread-like.  

With a lovely 'wholemeal' flavour, this grain free Paleo Bread is great for toasting. Make it, slice it, freeze it - it's perfect for weekend breakfasts.

A Little Advice

I do think it's important to start the recipe by creaming the ground linseeds and the hard butter or coconut oil. Again, because there's no gluten or yeast here, we need to get as much air into the loaf as possible. The creaming helps with that process.

And a Funny Thing

The funny thing is that we hardly ever have the desire for bread any more. It's simply not a daily temptation. What we actually love are the boat-like leaves of witloaf, which are brilliant for filling with a dob of homemade mayonnaise, a quartered boiled egg, a sliver of sundried tomato, or a ribbon of smoked salmon. On the weekends, especially in spring and summer, we'll start our breakfast with eggs and witlof. The hot, toasted slices of Paleo Bread slathered with butter and honey is really just Breakfast Dessert.

On the Side

Three Seed Paleo Bread - Try this if you're looking for a deep, hearty flavour reminiscent of a sour dough. Fruit and Nut Bread - This is wonderful! Again, great for toasting, especially in the cooler months. Bookmark this. Banana Bread - An AIP baked treat  - don't miss out on the pleasure just because you're doing the Elimination Phase.

With a lovely 'wholemeal' flavour, this grain free Paleo Bread rises beautifully and is great for toasting. Make it, slice it, freeze it - and then pull out a couple of slices for weekend breakfasts. 1½ cups of cassava flour will give you a light, moist loaf. 2 cups will result in a bread which is more dense and dry.
Paleomantic: Angie Brazzale
Recipe type: Breakfast, Baked Goods
This fits: Paleo
Serves: 20
Ingredients
  • 1½ - 2 cups cassava flour
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons Homemade Baking Powder (see blog post)
  • ½ cup linseeds (flax seeds)
  • 150 grams clarified butter or hard coconut oil
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup water
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Lightly grease a 25cm x 10cm (10inch x 4 inch) loaf pan and line the base with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the cassava flour, coconut flour and baking powder.
  3. Whiz the linseeds in a spice grinder until they resemble a flour. Place in the food processor with the butter or hard coconut oil and process until creamed.
  4. With the motor on slow, add the flour in lots with the egg and water.
  5. Scrape the batter into the loaf pan. Smooth with a spatula dipped in water, and make a few light scores on the surface so that the loaf will split evenly as it rises.
  6. Bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool for ½ an hour before turning out.

    Hi. I just read your blog on Primal Health Coaching. Very encouraging thank you. I linked to the bread and wanted to know a substitute on the cassava flour due to the high carbs. Please and thanks.

      Hi Tim, Thnak you, I’m so glad you found the post on Primal Health Coaching useful. With regards the recipe, I’m afraid there’s no substitute here for the Cassava Flour. We’re low carb, not no-carb. I make the bread, slice it and freeze it, and then we just pull out a couple of slices when we feel like it. Which isn’t very often – it might happen on the weekend. The rest of our Paleo Diet is so low-carb-high-fat that these couple of slices is really not going to tip us over the edge. It depends where you’re at and what your goals are. If you’re seeking to maintain your ideal body weight, I’d say just incorporate those carbs every now and again without feeling guilty or worrying about it. If you feel like it might set off cravings and carb dependency, it might be a good idea to re-focus with a Paleo Reset. Best in Health and Happiness! A

    Hey Angie! I have been on the internet looking for a celiac safe/dairy free (therefore paleo works) sandwich bread to make. I am trying to avoid any processed vegetable oils and most added sugar and it’s in most store bought gluten free breads I find…and I thought avoiding gluten was hard! Anyways, I’m looking to make this recipe but with the lack of reviews was wondering if it holds up well to grilling/manhandling. Paleo bread tends to me kind of soft and eggy and I’m hoping to find something different. Thanks!

      Hi Cori, Good question! I think one of the big parts of what we could call the Initiation Period of Paleo is letting go of the idea of Bread as You Used to Know It. Gluten is, well, like Glue. It’s what gives dough it’s elasticity and thus allows bakers to knead it and pizza makers to whirl it around. A gluten free Paleo bread made without emulsifiers and – yes- all those other substances that you’ll find in the ‘gluten free’ section of the supermarket – is never going to have that same quality. So, no, this bread won’t take a lot of manhandling, I’m afraid. It can be sliced and toasted, but needs to be treated with a little kindness. The ratio of ingredients used is basically the same as that for a muffin. So it rises well, and is kind of light… but not robust. And it’s definitely not eggy! Give it a try – it’ll certainly add variety to your weekly menu. And maybe try my 3-Seed Paleo Bread for something with a more pronounced taste and texture. The only other thing I’d add is to make sure you find Cassava Flour – not starch. Cassava Flour looks just like flour, and you can buy it quite cheaply from any Asia/Africa supermarket. Good luck with the recipe, and let me know how you go! Best, Angie

        Aweosme thanks for the quick reply. I’m with you on the gluten free things, I totally get the texture of paleo and gluten free breads. Some GF breads are much better than others, texture wise, but that stupid vegetable oil ruins everything…As long as I can toast a sandwich without it disintegrating I’ll be happy. I just have a hard time with lettuce wraps 🙂 And I have a 4# bag of Anthony’s Cassava flour which I use often. Love cassava flour, made some pumpkin gnocchi with it last night! Defnitely not WW flour but does the job. I’ll give this a try today or tomrorow and report back! Thanks so much

Acknowledge. Embrace. Release. This is an interest Acknowledge. Embrace. Release. This is an interesting one to contemplate, and may be powerful when applied to your health & healing. 

I had to ACKNOWLEDGE that the diet & lifestyle which I was CONVINCED was healthy & ethical was doing me no good. On the contrary, it was taking me towards autoimmune disease.

That was hard.

I had to EMBRACE all those things that I loved: eating habits, belief systems, ways of moving, my business... Embrace them & give thanks for all that they’d given me & taught me.

And I had to RELEASE them.

You know what the interesting thing about “Release” is? It’s that you don’t stop being you. You don’t lose anything. You don’t stop enjoying your time with friends. You don’t lose your qualities of compassion & kindness. You don’t become less. You become more.

Wiser. Stronger. More understanding. Healthier. Happier. More open & resilient.

What do you need to Acknowledge, Embrace and Release?

What gets you down the most? The digestive issues What gets you down the most? The digestive issues - acid reflux, constipation, bloating, cramps? The pain - joint pain, headaches, aching shoulders, back ache? The weak immunity - catching every darn cold and flu that passes? The low energy? The constant hunger? The low self esteem because you can’t figure it out?

Sweet, I got it all figured out. If you’re ticking off symptoms on the list above, then you need to tweak your diet & lifestyle.

It’s not hard on paper, but it can be challenging to put it into practice.

LIFE OR DEATH? That’s the level of stress that y LIFE OR DEATH? That’s the level of stress that your body/brain is subjected to when you’re metabolically trapped in a Carb Burning Cycle. 

All carbs, healthy (like whole grains) and unhealthy (like sweets) are broken down into simple chains in the gut. When they enter the bloodstream IT’S ALL SUGAR. 

⚡️High blood sugar is life threatening so insulin is released to pull it out & store it.
⚡️Low blood sugar is life threatening, so you’ll be manipulated to eat.
⚡️High insulin blocks your ability to burn fat.

Is this really what you want? Is that bread, pasta, cookie & soda habit really worth the stress?
