Gluten-Free Paleo Bread from Elana’s Pantry

Today I’m reminding you all about a terrific bread, a gluten-free Paleo Bread recipe that’s been sort of a semi-hidden gem right here on gfe.

This Paleo Bread was included in my dear friend Elana Amsterdam’s (Elana’s Pantry) latest cookbook, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. I originally shared this bread at the same time I shared another recipe from Elana’s cookbook.

There are so many reasons that you should consider getting Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry by Elana. If it’s not already on your shelf of course. Two of the reasons are this Paleo Bread recipe that I’m sharing today—thanks to Elana and Ten Speed Press—and the aforementioned recipe, Flourless Gluten-Free Brownies (Nut-Free) (swoon).

Other reasons include the remainder of the nearly 100 recipes in this cookbook and Elana’s many years of experience eating paleo and developing totally delicious grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free recipes.

Elana’s Paleo Bread is excellent. At the time when I first shared it, I’d already made it three times. It made all of us in my gfe family quite happy.

I’ve made it many more times since then and each time, I am newly surprised at how good it is! It’s super simple to make, too. For a recipe for gluten-free bread, particularly grain-free bread, that is saying a lot!

I also love the fact that this bread is yeast free and gum free. 

As you can see, you can enjoy this Paleo Bread the same way you would any other gluten-free bread. Top it with your favorites (e.g., peanut butter/sunflower seed butter/nut butter; jam; or butter), toast it, use it for sandwiches, and more.
