Primal Alternative Almond Meal based Bread: Healthy fats, clean protein, steady blood sugar, and sharp mental clarity. 🧠💪The grain-free baking mixes use almond meal (some omit these for nut free options) as a foundational ingredient because it creates a beautiful, hearty texture while acting as a natural energy stabiliser. It satisfies your bread cravings completely, without the physical toll of processed grains. Perfect for: Toast with your morning eggs 🍳Toasted sandwiches for lunch 🥪A quick, nutrient-dense snack to smash the afternoon slump 🔋Ditch the factory-made loaves and bake something that actually feeds your potential.

Let’s talk about a hidden number lurking in your "healthy" supermarket bread: Additive 1442 🔍⚠️If you flip over a commercial gluten-free loaf, you will almost always see an ingredient called Modified Tapioca Starch (1442)—chemically known as Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate. This isn't just regular tapioca. It is a highly processed, chemically altered starch designed by factories to withstand harsh industrial processing and extend shelf-life. It acts as a cheap filler and can be incredibly tough on a sensitive gut lining. 🏭❌When you buy a Primal Alternative By Michelle Baking Mix, or fresh loaf, you will see "tapioca flour" on the back. But let’s clear something up: I never, ever use Modified Starch 1442. Our tapioca flour is 100% natural, unrefined, and a root vegetable starch. We use mindful amounts purely as a natural binder so your home-baked loaves hold together beautifully without the use of industrial chemicals. 🥖🌿You deserve a kitchen free from chemical numbers.

I am stepping away from the baking bowls for a little while to rest, reset, and recharge the batteries so I can come back fresh and ready to bake your favourite nutrient-dense mixes and loaves. 🧘‍♀️✨A huge thank you to everyone who placed their orders over the last few weeks to stock up their freezers! Make sure to keep an eye on this page for updates on when the kitchen will be reopening. In the meantime, enjoy your own winter home-baking, stay cozy, and I will see you all very soon! 🥖❄️

There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread baking in your own oven... especially when you know exactly what went into it. 🏡❤️Supermarket shelves are full of "empty bread"—loaves stripped of their natural fibre, lacking protein, and filled with fillers that leave your gut irritated and your energy depleted .But when you bake with Primal Alternative Mixes, you are taking control of your health, one delicious loaf at a time! 💪🥣With just one bowl and a few minutes of prep, you transform our grain-free mix into a powerhouse of nutrition. Just one slice delivers a satisfying dose of healthy fats, protein, and dietary fibre that fuels your day without the carb crash. It’s convenience without compromise. You get the pride of home baking, and your body gets the real-food nourishment it deserves. 🥖✨Ready to fill your kitchen with the scent of wholesome, fresh bread?

💡 DID YOU KNOW? Eating grain-free can actually help your body absorb more nutrients from your food! 🧠🌱Grains inherently contain phytates, which act like a lock and key on minerals. When you eat them, they can prevent your digestive system from fully absorbing the good stuff—like iron and magnesium—from the rest of your meal. At Primal Alternative by Michelle, I handcraft everyday essentials that are 100% grain-free. Because I don't use grains, my bakes don't carry those mineral-blocking phytates or gut-irritating lectins. When you enjoy a slice of grain-free bread or a bowl of freshly baked primal granola, your body can effortlessly soak up every single vitamin and mineral. It’s pure, uncomplicated fuel just as nature intended! 💪🤎What’s your favourite way to enjoy a grain-free day? Let me know below! 👇:

Recipe: Grain Free Herb Bread
At Primal Alternative we’re all about making grain-free clean living EASY. T
Here is a lovely light herb bread for you to try at home. I 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.

If sesame seed allergies are a concern (or you don’t have them) simply substitute with linseeds which also give a beautiful result. If you are looking for a plain loaf, just leave out the sesame seeds, linseeds and herbs.

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!

Grain-Free Herb Bread
Ingredients
40g sesame seeds (or linseeds) optional
10g mixed fresh herbs (e.g. parsley, chives, sage, thyme, rosemary) optional
120g zucchini (roughly chopped)
150g blanched almond meal
120g tapioca flour
4 eggs
½ tsp salt
½ tsp bicarb soda
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sesame seeds (additional) optional
1 tsp linseeds
Method
Preheat oven to 180⁰C. Line small loaf tin (20cm x 10cm) with baking paper.
Place sesame seeds in the bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 9, or mill in your food processor. Set aside.
Place fresh herbs in bowl and chop for 5 seconds on speed 8, or chop in your food processor or by hand.
Add zucchini to bowl and grate for 3 seconds on speed 8. Scrape down bowl and repeat, or chop in your food processor or grate by hand, no need to squeeze out moisture.
Return ground sesame seeds to bowl and add all remaining ingredients.
Mix for 20 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down bowl and repeat, or mix until combined.
Pour into lined tin. Tap tin on the counter 3-4 times to remove any air bubbles.
Sprinkle top with additional sesame seeds and linseeds.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Cool on rack and store refrigerated in an airtight container.
