paleo bread's that actual stick together? page

[Brent*]

I know gluten is the primary reason traditional bread sticks together, but I'm curious if there are any recipes out there you guys have tried where the bread doesn't crumble up when you pick it up or use it as a sandwich?

I'm going to try this recipe and see what happens. I'll report back and let you guys know if I approve!

Ingredients

* 2/3 cup flax meal
* 1/3 cup almond meal
* 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
* Pepper to taste
* Salt to taste
* Approximately 3 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
* 2 eggs
* Optional can add crushed thyme, sage, oregano, rosemary or cinnamon to taste
*
* Water to make the batter pourable

Directions
1. In mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs together. Mix all ingredients and pour batter into regular loaf pan. Oil pan.
2. 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes until baked thru-out.

Here is a similar recipe from Elana's Pantry: Paleo Bread | Healthy Gluten Free Bread Recipe | Elana's Pantry

I made it, and really enjoyed it; it was firmer than any other paleo/primal bread I have ever made, and the taste of it was pretty fantastic. I did have to bake it for about 10 more minutes than the recipe states, and I just used a regular loaf pan lined with parchment paper instead of the loaf pan she recommends.

Chebe bread mix, which is basically tapioca starch and sea salt, is wonderful, if you eat starches like that. Manioc flour comes from a root, so it's grain-free. I think that it's so much better than baking nut and seed flours at high temps.

Thanks! I'll have to try this one as well.

Most "primal baking" makes me cringe. Exposing polyunsaturated fats to high heats over long periods of time is just terrible for you body.

isn't tapioca starch non-primal? from an amazon source I see the ingredients for the chebe mix as this:

Manioc (tapioca) flour, modified manioc starch (100% manioc), iodine-free sea salt, cream of tartar, sodium bicarbonate.

Where I can get a natural chebe mix free from modified stuff?

thanks guys f

You can make the chebe bread rolls using pure tapioca starch with the following recipe:


Gluten Free Pao de Quejo ~ Cheese Bread
Makes 12 – 1 1/2 inch wide biscuits/rolls

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups tapioca flour (same thing as tapioca starch)

2 cups shredded cheese (we used an Italian blend)

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs

1/4 cup melted butter

2 teaspoons dill

2 teaspoons dried chives
Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450F.
2. Mix together all ingredients in your mixer well.
3. Form in to balls (about 1 1/2 inches or 2 inches) and slightly flatten. (Almost make them in to small disks, if you want them to look like what is in the picture… or leave them as puffed balls! You decide!)
4. Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Serve warm with sandwich fixings or your favorite soup.

so carb wise, is it better to stick with nut based breads (almond flour, coconut flour) as opposed to tapioca starch? Unsure what the nutritional breakdown is for these types of bread.

i just made the bread recipe in the OP. i think its either missing some ingredients or is not intended as a loaf style bread. the ingredients as listed do not rise and in a loaf style pan only covers the bottom 3/4" when done cooking. also taste isnt so great either

Tapioca starch is fine--it's from a root. It's carby, though, if you're worried about such things.
