Gluten-free bread is often a disappointment. Even when it's good, it's almost always mediocre in comparison to "the real thing."

This recipe is an exception. It is genuinely delicious. I'm baking a loaf right now.

However, since there is soooo much almond in it, don't pig out on it, even though it's so yummy. I'll probably eat too much, anyway. Mmm.

I based my recipe off this one: Irish Soda Bread.
  • 2 ¾ cups blanched almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • ½ tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • pinch of caraway seeds


  • Combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, raisins, sesame seeds, and hemp hearts in a large bowl.
  • In a smaller bowl combine eggs, honey, and apple cider vinegar
  • Mix wet ingredients into dry.
  • Put parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Dump batter on a piece of parchment paper and shape into a large, flat circle that is about 8" across and 1 ½" tall
  • Sprinkle top of bread with caraway seeds
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, then turn off oven and leave bread in for 10 more minutes
  • Cool bread for ½ hour then slice and serve with butter and jam.

Beer Bread

I got this recipe from my friend Michael, who makes it all the time. I just made some for the second time, today. It is a pleasant, simple recipe, and it smells divine in the oven. It is not a tall, poofy loaf of bread, but a denser type, more like banana bread.

This bread is delicious with butter and jam. Mmmm.....

1/3 cup sugar (I use raw sugar)
3 cups whole wheat flour (I've also made it with 2.5 cups whole wheat flour and .5 cups quinoa flour)
1.5 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp salt
1 standard-sized bottle of beer (12 oz)

Heat oven to 350.

Mix all the dry ingredients together, and when well-blended, mix in the beer. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes and it starts to raise.

Scrape it into a lightly-greased loaf pan and bake about 50 minutes or until it sounds hollow when you knock on the top.

Allow it to cool before you slice it.
