Looking for an easy gluten-free, no yeast bread recipe?! You have come to the right place! Whenever anyone asks me what I recommend for gluten-free bread, I have a hard time coming up with a brand! A lot of them are filled with additives, preservatives, fillers, and inflammatory oils. My Paleo Garlic Herb Bread is easy to make, doesn't require yeast, and uses only a few simple ingredients like almond flour, eggs, and water! Not only is it healthy, but it also has the perfect "bread-like" consistency. I've tried other bread recipes in the past, but they required yeast or ingredients I didn't have on hand. This is the easiest recipe, and you probably have all of the ingredients in your kitchen already! (Updated February 2021.)

🍴Recipe Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- Almond Flour (Not packed.) - I have not tested this recipe with any other type of flour. Make sure it's almond FLOUR and not Almond MEAL. They have completely different textures. My favorite brands are Bob's Red Mill & Blue Diamond. You can purchase both on Amazon.
- Garlic Powder
- Thyme - I haven't tested with any other herbs, but I bet it would taste great with rosemary!
- Salt
- Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- Eggs
- Filtered Water
🍴Recipe Instructions
Preparing the batter
- Add eggs and water into a mixing bowl. Whisk until fully combined. You can also use a hand mixer or stand mixer!
- In a separate mixing bowl add almond flour, garlic powder, salt, thyme, and baking soda. Whisk until fully combined. (The whisk helps to break up the almond flour clumps.) You can also use a fork!
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Baking
- Next, grease your bread pan with coconut oil or avocado oil spray. You can use a regular bread pan dish, or mini loaf pans.
- Pour the mixture into your pan, then place in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes for mini loaf pans, and 45-55 minutes for 10x6 or 9x3 bread pan. You'll know it's done when the top is golden brown. It's very important the the bread cooks long enough or else the center will be mushy. You can test to make sure it's done with a toothpick or fork. If you stick it in, and it comes out clean you'll know it's done.
- Remove from the oven, and let it cool for at least 45 minutes before slicing. See cooling instructions below.
Cooling & removing Bread with full size bread pan
Once your bread comes out of the oven, it's important that it has time to cool and set. Place the pan on a metal cooling rack for about 45-90 minutes. When it has cooled for a bit, gently scrape the two narrow sides of the pan with a knife and pull it up with the parchment paper. Place it on the cooling rack, and pull the parchment paper out from underneath. If you leave it on the parchment paper too long, it will get soggy on the bottom. Once you've removed it from the pan you can slice into it! I usually let mine cool until it's at room temperature.
Cooling & removing Bread with mini bread pan
Once your bread comes out of the oven, set the entire mini bread pan on a metal cooling rack. I would suggest letting it sit for about an hour before trying to remove them. Greasing the pan helps a lot with sticking, but you still want them to set before you try to remove them. Take your knife and gently scrape around the edges. Use a fork to gently start to get underneath and pop them out. Place each loaf on the rack to cool. Once they're removed you can slice into them!
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent the bread from sticking to the pan?
If you use mini loaf pans, I suggest greasing each individual loaf with coconut oil or a non-stick spray. When I use a full size loaf pan I grease the edges, AND use parchment paper. Slice a piece that will fit in your loaf pan. (One long strip.) Lay the strip on the bottom of your baking pan - the coconut oil will help it to stick to the bottom and edges. Pour your batter on top. Make sure you leave enough parchment paper sticking up on either side so you can pull it out after it's done baking.
How should I serve my Garlic Herb Bread?
- Toasted with a slice of butter!
- Dipped in your favorite Soup or Chili!
- Pan fried grilled (dairy-free) cheese!
- With Meatballs + Sauce!
- Double baked and made into my Homemade Croutons!
How should I store leftovers?
I usually store mine on the counter at room temperature the first day, and then I put it in the refrigerator. (I usually don't cover it so it doesn't get too moist!) It also freezes well! To freeze - pre-slice the loaf, and put in an air tight glass container.
