Add Step-by-Step Photos	Beckar / All my dishes 2 months, 4 weeks ago Here's a recipe for flax bread - for those who are going paleo versus just zoning.

Ingredients

2/3 cup flax meal

1/3 cup almond meal

1-1.5 tsp baking powder (which isn't actually paleo since the main ingredient is corn starch, but there's so little of it that I didn't worry about it)

salt to taste

approximately 3 tsp olive oil (or you could use butter or unrefined coconut oil depending on your needs)

2 eggs

just enough water to make the batter pourable (the more water you use, the harder it is to cook your bread all the way through)

Directions

In mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs together. Mix all ingredients and pour batter into regular-sized pie tin or small loaf pan. The original recipe said to oil the pan, but I skipped this step and mine didn't stick at all. Cook 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees or until it is cooked all the way through, i.e. passes the toothpick/bread knife test.

Variations: You can make an herbed bread by adding small chunks of sharp cheddar cheese (ugh, not paleo), some crushed thyme, sage, oregano, rosemary, etc. or make it sweet by adding cinnamon, honey, cardamom, vanilla and/or some fresh, sliced fruit. I used cinnamon and pecan pieces this time, but will probably try raisins next time.
