Discover the rustic charm of the Paleo Sourdough Bloomer, a grain-free twist on traditional sourdough bread that’s perfect for those following a paleo lifestyle. This wholesome loaf combines nutrient-rich almond flour, tapioca flour, and coconut flour with a tangy homemade paleo sourdough starter to deliver a delightful balance of flavor and texture. Lightly sweetened with raw honey and bound with eggs, this bread achieves a soft yet hearty crumb, while apple cider vinegar and baking soda ensure just the right lift. With its golden crust and slightly chewy interior, the bloomer is ideal for sandwiches, avocado toast, or simply enjoying alongside grass-fed butter. Ready in under an hour, this bread is a must-try for anyone looking for a healthy, gluten-free alternative to their favorite sourdough.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the apple cider vinegar, honey, and warm water. Mix until smooth.
Add the Paleo sourdough starter to the wet mixture and stir to combine well.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until a consistent dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but pliable.
Lightly dust your hands with tapioca flour, then shape the dough into a bloomer shape (an oval loaf). Place it on the lined baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 diagonal slashes across the top of the dough to allow it to expand in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve as a sandwich bread, toast, or simply enjoy a slice with Paleo-friendly toppings like grass-fed butter or avocado.
