A delicious and hearty Candida Diet Bread Recipe. This Garlic Rosemary Paleo Bread makes a tasty snack and is gluten, grain and yeast free.
Candida Diet Bread Recipe
Yes, you can follow a Paleo or Candida diet and eat your bread too. It just takes getting familiar with some different ingredients, but once you know what to use, all of your bread cravings can be satisfied while still sticking to your specialty diet.
Ingredients, old and new
Typically bread is made up of flour, water, salt and yeast. The flour usually being white or wheat, both which contain gluten. The thing is, on a paleo diet grains are not permitted. Therefore, white and wheat flour, barley, spelt and even brown rice should all be avoided. So, for this bread recipe almond meal is at the base, accompanied by coconut flour and flaxseed meal. And all of these ingredients are a green light on both a Paleo and a Candida diet and can be purchased at most grocery stores like Trader Joes, Sprouts and Whole Foods.
As a bonus, the upgrade in these flours makes this bread high in protein and fiber, which means they’ll help keep you full and satisfied.
Fits a Candida Diet too!
This bread is also free of yeast and sugar making it fit a Candida Diet too. The yeast in bread is what makes it rise, so you’ll notice that this bread is dense and hearty, but it’s still delicious and would make a perfect snack or side to soup. Personally, I love this bread smeared with grass-fed butter and served with Creamy Carrot, Ginger Soup. Are you getting hungry yet…

If I only put 1/4 cup of ground flax in the bread will it make a large difference?
Hi Taryn
If you use additional almond meal to replace the flax it should be fine, I’d add just a touch more olive oil (1 – 2 Tbs.) just to keep it nice and moist. Let me know how it turns out!!!
Hey I’m allergic to flaxseed, what could I use instead?
Hi Cobie,
You could try adding more almond meal. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup flaxseed meal, I’d add 1/2 cup more almond meal. Hope this helps!

Can I replace the coconut flour with grounded coconut flakes or with something else?
If you don’t have coconut flour on hand or can’t find it in the stores, you could try subbing almond flour (NOT MEAL) in place. Coconut flour is very absorbent so you need to find something that is comparable. If you’re not allergic or avoiding soy, soy flour would work too. You could try ground shredded coconut into a flour, but it may turn into a coconut butter.
You could also try cassava flour in place as well.
