Grain Free Bread Recipe

Have you given up or limited grains in your diet? If you’re longing for delicious tasting bread, then give this simple grain free bread a try and you won’t feel like you are missing a thing!

When I started learning about the Ketogenic Diet, I scoured every source I could and found a couple of docs that follow the high fat, medium protein, low carb way of eating themselves.

Dr. Jason Fung is the first doctor I became interested in learning more about.  He is a Canadian kidney specialist and co-founder of Intensive Dietary Management program, and also an author to The Obesity Code as well as The Complete Guide to Fasting books.

Both books are worth the investment if you want to learn more about the science behind this life style. I’m fascinated by his findings.

Dr. Eric Berg is another doctor I have followed.  He is a chiropractor and has also become educated on the Keto diet and helps thousands of people lead healthier lives.

He’s all over the place; Facebook, Twitter, website with a supplement store and to be honest, I unsubscribed because I felt like he was stalking me on Facebook – Haha!  The power of advertisement!

This delicious grain free bread recipe is on his YouTube channel, and although they don’t site where the original recipe came from, they do mention that it’s not an original Berg recipe.

How to store gluten free bread

Since there are no preservatives in these loaves you can’t leave this out on the counter for long.  Give these tips a try!

First, let the bread cool completely before slicing or storing (waiting is the hardest part of this recipe!).  If you don’t wait, then you’ll end up with gummy slices of bread, so WAIT and let the loaves cool.

Store in an air tight container for three days, and after that you need to freeze it.  To freeze, slice the loaf  and wrap each piece in plastic wrap before putting it in air tight freezer containers.  If you have a vacuum sealer, that’s the best way to prevent freezer burn.  Use within two to three weeks.

Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients:

  1 cup almond flour

  1 cup arrowroot flour

  1/3 cup coconut flour

  1 tsp sea salt

  2 tsp active dry yeast

  1 ½ tbsp very finely ground chia seed

  2 tbsp organic psyllium husk powder

  Wet Ingredients:

  1 ¼ cup filtered water

  2 teaspoons maple syrup 

  1 egg

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together almond, arrowroot and coconut flours with the sea salt. 

In a small bowl heat 1 1/4 cups of water to 105-110 F degrees.  Add maple syrup and rapid rise yeast.  Let sit for about 10 minutes.  The yeast should start to bubble.  

Stir in the chia and psyllium into the prepared yeast mixture.  Let sit for about 10 minutes while the ingredients thicken.  Whisk together, then add to the flour mixture and stir with a spoon until all the ingredients are well incorporated. 

Knead dough for about 1 minute, then place back in the large bowl and cover with a damp towel.  Place in a draft-free area and let rise for about an hours.

Pre-heat oven to 425 F degrees with baking sheet or stone. 

In a small bowl whisk egg.  Form dough into desired shape and brush egg over the loaf.  Place on heated baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205 -210 F degrees. 

Let cool completely before slicing.

Recipe Notes

Use real maple syrup.  The syrup is consumed by the yeast, which lowers the glycemic index.
