Paleo Sandwich Bread (Low Carb, Keto)
I have a feeling that this is probably not your first time seeing Paleo bread recipes on the internet but to make paleo bread soft, fluffy, low carb, and with a light toasted whole wheat aroma is probably worth writing about. 🙂
Even my husband, Nate, who’s a bread lover likes this Paleo Sandwich Bread recipe. He said this is the type of bread he’d reach in the fridge to get a second slice. Since I’m not much of a bread or cake baker, I kept the recipe really simple with minimal ingredients. If I can do it, you can absolutely, too!
How to make Paleo sandwich bread
You will need ground flaxseed meal, almond flour, arrowroot starch (optional), baking powder, Instant dry yeast
,salt, eggs, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.
This Paleo Sandwich Bread recipe has a soft and fluffy texture and slightly bouncy. The bread is also gluten-free and low carb.
Active dry yeast v.s. Instant dry yeast
Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before using and instant dry yeast can be mixed right into dry ingredients. The yeast helps the dough to rise and makes the bread soft and less dense.
For today’s Paleo Sandwich Bread recipe I use instant dry yeast. Sometimes it’s also sold as rapid- or quick-rise yeast.
According to the Kitchn, active dry yeast and instant dry yeast are interchangeable. However, active dry yeast may be slower to rise. If a recipe calls for Instant dry yeast and you use active dry yeast, you might need to add an extra 10-15 minutes bake time for the bread to rise.
Is yeast gluten-free?
Instant dry yeast and active dry yeast are gluten-free. There are other types of yeast that may not be gluten-free. For example, Brewer’s yeast (unless it’s specified gluten-free on the label) and yeast extract. You can read more information from this article here.
Is yeast paleo?
Yes, yeast is Paleo. Read more here from Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.
So my friends, this Paleo Sandwich Bread is low carb and very easy to make. You can store the extra in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. It reheats well and you can easy make toasted sandwiches in a toaster oven.

- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 egg whites

Can you use water instead of egg white? Trying to reduce cost if possible. Thank you
Hi Bob, egg white helps the bread get fluffy and gives texture. If you sub with water, it will not work the same though.
Thank you
Welcome! :))
Very good bread. I used regular yeast. It still raised and was delicious.
Smells and tastes divine. Definitely the best paleo bread I’ve made, and I’ve made A LOT in search of a good one. I used active dry yeast because that’s what I had. I did not proof it before adding it and the bread turned out just fine.
This looks like the recipe I’ve been looking for, except for the almond flour (which I’m allergic to). Do you think that cassava or coconut or tigernut flour or some combo might work? Thank you!
Hi Kim, sorry I don’t know how it’ll turn out if you use a different type of flour as the consistency and the liquid quantity might all need to be adjusted though…
This bread is delicious and easy to make! Highly recommend! My entire family loves it and an entire loaf is gone in just two days!
Can you sub tapioca flour in place of the arrowroo flour?
HI Kitty, yes! 🙂
Just made this bread tonight for my husband, and he LOVED IT!! Used 1 1/2 times the recipe and could only get brown flax at the store, but it worked and rose and toasted nice for our BLT’s. THANK YOU for an edible bread recipe that WORKS!

Incredible. I’m a HUGE bread person, so was skeptical. But this is definitely staying a staple in our home. And I’ve already given it out TWICE as gifts. Haha. Everyone loves it 🙂
That’s awesome, Joe. Thanks for coming here to share it with us. I appreciate it!
Can you use butter instead of olive oil?
Hey Eugenia, I’m not sure about that though.
