Nut and Seed Bread | Keto Gluten-Free Bread
I've seen recipes all over for what people are calling a Nordic stone age bread. Interestingly I haven't seen that many explanations of why this called Nordic, nor stone age, and if you haven't eaten it, you'll be wondering why it's even called bread really. No flour or yeast, or leavening agent, just a mix of nuts and seeds, and it's somehow magically bread?
Actually. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Or bread-ish. Like, VERY GOOD bread-ish.
I was terribly skeptical. Moreover, the other recipes called for 6 cups of nuts and seeds which sounded horridly expensive.
I'm cheap. We also don't eat that much. While I'm all about finding keto bread that tastes delicious (and let's be honest many of them do not taste delicious), I was not about to risk that many nuts over something I wasn't sure would work to make a huge hunk of something we might have hated.
So I decided to tweak a little, make a smaller batch, and see what the fuss was all about. Well, I tell you what. It's worth every penny for those nuts and seeds.
Where Does This Recipe Originate From?
I think this recipe was created by Thomas Rode but I'm sure I've messed with it enough to where he probably doesn't want me calling it his recipe entirely!
Let's just say all the credit is his and the mistakes are mine. That is probably very accurate.

Tips And Tricks For Making This Nut And Seed Bread
- Use a combination of whole nuts and smaller seeds. Use whatever you have lying around, it will work as long as you follow the rest of the directions.
- Do not cut the whole nuts. I wasn't sure how those would work but they sliced beautifully in the finished product.
- Do not omit the flax seed, and if possible use ground flax seeds. These, along with the egg, serve as a binder for the bread.
- Cook for the specified length of time. You won't be able to do a chopstick test on it while it's hot. There's not a lot that truly needs cooking forever, but I haven't had time to experiment with shorter cook times. I can tell you it works beautifully at 45 minutes.
- Be sure to grease the pan well so the beautiful seed bread pops right out.
- Serve with lots of butter.

Thank you for this terrific recipe. i have just made it and it is delicious. I used macadamias, pecans and cashews along with the seeds.
Can I freeze it? I like to defrost just one slice at a time to prevent me from eating it all!
Princess
Do you use raw or roasted nuts and seeds? Salts or unsalted? Meant to ask this with my first question
Princess
Does this bread taste "eggy"? Also, can you use other oil such as coconut, olive or avocado?

Following a keto diet I was really missing crackers. I baked this recipe in two mini loaf pans, sliced them thin, and then baked them a second time on a cookie sheet. I have served them on a cheese board, with chicken salad and with hummus. They are FANTASTIC and BETTER THAN CRACKERS. They are now a staple in my house. I’ve also added cinnamon and nutmeg or rosemary just to change it up. The recipe is fool-proof and has come out perfect every time!!!

Can I use olive oil?
