Paleo Bread

I have had a few requests to share this recipe after I posted a pictureof the sandwich I made for Avery on FB.  I have to admit, the sandwich looked and tasted pretty good.  I often hear that one of the things people miss most is having a sandwich when they switch to eating Paleo.  That was not a big problem for me, I was never much of a sandwich eater, BUT, once in a while it would be a nice treat.

This is the first bread recipe I tried.  The reason I picked this recipe is that it looked pretty easy, and the ingredients were fairly simple.  It also doesnt cook for super long which is nice too.  The first time I made it I made a single batch, so the loaf was quite small (I didn't have the size pan recommended).  The scond time I made it I made a double batch and got a nice sized loaf of bread.  I also forgot to add the baking soda, and I added it when the mix was in the pan - hense the brown spots in the bread (picture above) - it still tasted fine though!  The taste is nice, just dont have the expectation that it will taste exactly like a piece of bread, I found the texture a little more cakey than what I would consider bread to be.  It is delicious though!

I actually followed this recipe pretty closely.  I really wanted it to work out, and I even made sure I had all the right ingredients before starting... impressive!!

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups blanched almond flour
2. 2 tablespoons coconut flour
3. 1/4 cup of golden flaxmeal - you can find this at costco - just be sure to store in the freezer once you open the bag :-)
4. 1/2 teaspoon celtic sea salt - regular old sea salt for me
5. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6. 5 eggs
7. 1 tablespoon of coconut oil - i melted the coconut oil
8. 1 tablespoon of honey
9. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar - I use Braggs organic apple cider you can buy it at superstore - just shake well before measuring

Directions:

1. place almond flour, coconut flour, flax, salt and baking soda in the food processor
2. pulse ingredients together
3. pulse in eggs oil and vinegar
4. pour batter into a greased 7.5x3.5 pan - i just used whatever sized pan I had :-)
5. bake at 350 for 30 minutes
6. cool in pan for 2 hours - I may have skipped this step too - although I think it was pretty close to 2 hours

I got this recipe from: Elana's Pantry

Hope it works out for you and helps fill that bread/sandwich craving that a Paleo lifestyle can leave you with!

Happy Baking!!
