Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, eggs, warm water, and honey. Whisk until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. The mixture will be slightly sticky.
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve this Paleo Pain au Levain with your favorite toppings or simply enjoy it on its own.
