One of the biggest reasons people fail at eating a low inflammation diet is they miss bread! One of my good friends said that while eating a paleo-style diet, she enjoys the variety of vegetables and doesn’t mind the meat, however she misses sitting down to enjoy a warm slice of toast with butter.
Once you learn how to make grain free sandwich bread, it will give you many options for occasions you need a slice of bread.
Choosing to Eat Grain Free Sandwich Bread
The question is, can you have your bread and still keep inflammation at bay? Yes, you can! This bread recipe has great texture, does not crumble, and stays together when you make a sandwich. It makes great slices that can be eaten right away or put in the freezer.
My teenage daughters eat a low inflammation diet due to having allergies and asthma. They were on steroid inhalers and broncodilators for 12 years. One of my daughters needed prednisone for every allergy flare-up and sickness in order to open up her airways. When prednisone didn’t work, she was hospitalized. Since lowering the overall inflammation in their bodies, they have had no sickness, no allergies, no daily anti-histamines, no inhalers, and no doctor visits. It’s not hard to convince them to eat nutritious food and keep the inflammation out of their bodies.
What do we miss the most?
Making a sandwich, with bread! Between myself and my daughters we have experimented with many recipes before stumbling across this recipe. I found it on the Chēbē.com site, under seasoned yeast bread. Two years ago, I went to look up the recipe & Chēbē had remodeled their site and removed the recipe. I tried making this recipe by memory and it only took a few attempts before settling on these ingredients.
Printable How to Make Grain Free Sandwich Bread
Grain Free Sandwich Bread
Grain Free, tree nut free, dairy free, gluten free
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Chēbē All Purpose Bread Mix
- 2 1/2 tsp. Red Star quick rising yeast (gluten-free brand) See note below
- 4 large Organic eggs, room temperature
- 2 T. Unrefined coconut oil Nutiva brand
- 1/4 c. coconut milk, warm
- 1/2 c. filtered water, warm
- 1 c. raw cheese, grated (optional) or dairy free cheese
- 1/4 c. tapioca flour (for kneading)
Instructions
-
In a large glass mixing bowl, add the two baking mixes and dry yeast. Whisk together. If adding cheese, grate 1 c. and add to the dry mix.
-
In a small saucepan, warm up coconut milk, water and coconut oil. The mixture should be warm to the touch and not exceed 90°. Add to the dry mix.
-
Add your room temperature eggs to the mixture. Begin to mix together with a spatula until a ball forms. The dough will look moist.
-
Dust your hands with the extra tapioca flour. Begin kneading the dough. Use a folding and punching down motion until the dough is smooth. To keep the dough from sticking, keep adding a little bit of tapioca flour to your hands.
-
Lightly grease a baking pan with coconut oil. A stoneware baking pan that is 5.5" x 9" or a traditional bread pan works.
-
Once the dough is smooth, shape into a loaf and place in the greased baking pan. Let the dough rise in a warm area for 40-45 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven to 350° while the dough is rising.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes. (Make a note that every baking pan bakes differently, so you might need to add extra time.) After 40 minutes knock on your bread to see if it sounds hollow and feels firm.
-
Remove the loaf from the oven. Cool the bread in the baking pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cool rack.
-
Cool completely before slicing.
SUPPLIES:
- Gluten Free Yeast: Red Star Dry Active Yeast
- Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
- If you do NOT have a dairy allergy; you can use two boxes of the Chēbē Original Cheese Bread Recipe. It contains dry milk.

Storage
Grain Free Sandwich Bread can be stored in the pantry for several days and up to a week if stored in the refrigerator. If you chose to freeze the whole loaf or individual slices, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or a wax wrap; then place it in a freezer bag.
Be sure to label and add the date it was baked before placing it in the freezer.
Note: the bread you see pictured, does not have any cheese added to the recipe. If you chose to add cheese, it will make the bread rise higher. I have baked it both ways. The protein in the cheese allows for the bread to have a stronger “framework” and rise higher.
Grain-Free Sandwich bread is easy to make and prepare. Do you need another idea for this bread? Try using it for French toast! It is delicious!
