At Primal Alternative we’re all about making grain-free clean living EASY. That’s why we offer wholesome, nutrient-dense convenience foods like bread – home made with love –  not in a factory! But here’s our little secret… grain-free bread baking is super easy. As we always say there are no artisan baking skills required to be a Primalista. Our recipes are simple – just measure, mix, pour and bake!

Here is a lovely light herb bread for you to try at home. I’m loving it toasted with butter or a little avocado and tomato and am totally looking forward to enjoying it with root vegetable soups in the winter months.

This recipe can be made in your Thermomix, or any other food processor or you can chop the ingredients and mix by hand.  You don’t need a Thermomix to be a Primalista.

If sesame seed allergies are a concern (or you don’t have them) simply substitute with linseeds which also give a beautiful result.

This is a popular low carb recipe and you’ll get about 13 slices and 2 crusts per loaf.  Tip: slice and freeze and toast to thaw each time you fancy toast!

Enjoy!
