Rosemary Garlic Flaxseed Loaf, paleo, GF
After making Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Bread, we knew that we wanted to try making a savory bread. Since garlic and bread are just right together, we decided that we needed to make one with roasted garlic in it.
Roasted garlic is one of our favorite things. We absolutely love when garlic cloves are so perfectly roasted that you can spread them like butter onto a slice of bread. And having them inside of bread was fantastic idea. Yummm!
To make this Rosemary Garlic Loaf, we made a few adjustments to the bread recipe that we used before.
Adjustments meaning… that we used golden ground flax instead of the darker one that we had used before, we added dried rosemary, and we added a lot of roasted garlic. What a difference a few ingredients can make!
Seriously, golden flax seeds are way better for paleo bread making than the darker ones.
And roasted garlic is always a good idea.
The aroma of this bread was fantastic… rosemary just filled the air!
We all know how we feel about garlic and bread together.
Especially garlic that is cooked for so long it gets soft and can be spread all over a slice of bread.
YUM.
But rosemary and bread are wonderful together too. And so is Rosemary and garlic.
The mixture of rosemary, garlic, and bread is just bound to be good.
Even though we know that we can eat Paleo bread, we still get surprised that we can eat it.
We feel like we're “cheating” but the great part about this bread is that you aren’t cheating. Not at all.
We enjoyed a few slices of this Rosemary Garlic Loaf alone and then again with some egg salad on top.
Not “cheating” on Paleo can be satisfying!

Ingredients
- 3/4 of a full bulb of garlic, (we separated all the cloves and removed the skin from each)
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup ground flax seeds, ( golden flax seeds)
- 2 Tbs water
- 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp and 1/4 tsp dried rosemary separated
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cover a baking sheet with aluminum paper. Make a circular shape, almost like a nest out of the aluminum paper, rolling the corners up (check out the photos above)
- In a small bowl, put the naked cloves of garlic inside and cover them with 1 tbs of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place them in the aluminum foil nest and let them cook for 15 minutes. Once they are cooked, remove from the oven and set them aside.
- Leave the oven at 400 degrees for the bread.
- While the garlic is cooking, cover a loaf tin in wax paper. Our loaf tin was 9.25X 5.25 X 2.75.
- In bowl #1, whisk the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and the water together and set aside.
- In bowl #2, mix the ground flax seeds, almond flour, baking soda, 2 tsp of dried rosemary and salt together with a fork.
- Pour bowl #2 into bowl #1 and mix it together with a whisk until well combined.
- Fold in the roasted garlic with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and pat the top with a rubber spatula to even it out throughout the pan.
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of dried rosemary on the top of the bread.
- Cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the pan by lifting the wax paper and then remove the wax paper before letting the bread cool on a drying rack.
