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.

Yay!! So happy to hear. I love this Paleo sandwich bread very much, too! So fluffy and yummy!
We made this Paleo a sandwich bread! It’s amazing!!! No eggy flavor and the texture of the bread is soft and fluffy. I love that it has a hint of ‘whole wheat’ bread fragrance. Going to make more so we can store them in the freezer for later!
Looks delicious.
Can we leave out the maple syrup?
Thanks, Claire. The yeast needs some sugar to activate it so you’ll need some form of sugar. You can also use any keto friendly sweetener to substitute maple syrup, too!
Fantastic way to start the day. In fact, one of my favorite! Great recipe and something I would definitely like to try!
This recipe is coming at just the perfect timing, I’ve been craving and missing sandwiches so much lately so I can’t wait to try it out!
