Paleo Garlic and Rosemary Bread
Recipe Key
You’ll be able to whip up this moist, delicious Paleo Rosemary Bread easily since it only has 7 ingredients. It’s a grain-free, yeast-free dairy-free bread. It’s moist on the inside with a slight crust on the outside.
Eating a gluten free diet is beneficial for healing but many of my clients tell me they miss eating bread. A slice of bread in the morning can be very satisfying. Since I stopped eating gluten, I don’t eat any bread. Yes, there are certainly many gluten free breads available but most of them are made with high glycemic flours, like tapioca starch, potato flour and others. I try to avoid those ingredients.
Now I am missing bread. I decided I wanted to create an easy to make gluten free bread that tastes good. After many tries I came up with this high protein paleo bread. It’s grain-free, yeast-free and dairy-free. It’s moist on the inside with a slight crust on the outside and has a good texture and taste. It is definitely more dense compared to breads with gluten and yeast, but it’s still light and delicious. The bread gets even lighter and somewhat flaky when toasted.
To get the moist texture I use almond butter and free range eggs which are full of protein. The only other ingredients are baking soda, a little honey, garlic and rosemary. A hand mixer is necessary to cream everything together. It is simple to make with only a few ingredients.
I love eating this paleo rosemary bread for breakfast with sliced avocado, baby lettuce and sauerkraut. It is also good toasted with grass fed butter. This paleo bread provides the protein, fat and fiber you need in the morning to fill you up, support your hormones and give you energy all day.
Start by bringing your eggs to room temperature. Eggs warmed to room temperature will mix more easily into the batter and also help increase volume.
To bring cold eggs up to room temperature, put them in a bowl and cover them with warm tap water. Do this first thing when you walk into the kitchen and the eggs are at a perfect temperature by the time you finish gathering the rest of the ingredients.
Prepare the pan by spreading a very thin coating of coconut oil on the sides of 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan, then line the base and sides with parchment paper. Use one piece of parchment for the long sides and bottom and 2 small pieces for the short sides.
I can’t get enough of this bread. I have been eating it every morning for the last week. It’s also great for sandwiches or paninis. My son made it for his family and my grandson, Avery loved it too.

I hope you make this bread and enjoy it as much as I do. Please let me know if it satisfies your need for bread even though you may be gluten free.
What ??? I’m amazed these few ingredients can make bread, Ingrid! I miss bread, too, and I’m making this today! Can’t wait! I’ll let you know~~thank you~~
Hi Frances, Isn’t it great to have a bread that is high protein and low glycemic. Let us know how it came out for you. I am eating it for breakfast many days a week. It’s exciting for me to eat bread again.
YUM! This looks amazing! Any suggestions for the almond butter replacement? We can’t do almonds/peanuts. Would cashew or pecan butter (I just make it) work? Not sure if you’ve tried anything other than almond butter. I’ll try with one of those but thought I’d ask for suggestions! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Angela,
Great question. I have never tried it with cashew butter but I think it would turn out great. It will probably be much lighter in color. Let me know how it comes out. I may even try it myself. Thanks for asking!
We love this! I’ve started making it weekly. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi Diane, Thanks, I’m glad it has become part of your regular menu. I too make it often.
Has an ingredient been left out? It’s been in the oven for 25 minutes and it’s still RAW. I don’t understand how this can even hold together with nearly no dry ingredients to do so. I’ll bake it for another 25 minutes and hope for the best. So far, not impressed.
I’m sorry the bread didn’t come out for you. I’m not sure why. It’s possible you didn’t use enough almond butter, did you weigh it or measure it? Also what kind of almond butter did you use? Again I’m sorry. I’ve made it many times and so has my son. Let’s see if we can figure it out.
When I first made a recipe quite a bit like this from other websites, I wondered if it could be a savory bread and then I found your website.
I had made the individual bread before, sliced horizontally to make a sandwich (used a square dish) with the recipe from the other site. I would love to try that with this one as I cut down the quantity of the ingredients for the individual sandwich bread.
You may want to add in the instruction to keep mixing till the batter is really thick; that makes a world of difference in the results.
Thank you June for your comment. I will add the instruction keep mixing till the batter is really thick; great feedback!
We are allergic to ALL NUTS! Please give us an alternative to use. We would love to eat bread again!!!!
I understand completely. Recently I’ve been limiting my nuts too! Try this Banana Blueberry Bread it’s nut free. I hope you like it. Enjoy your cooking!
