When Jeff & I were in Ventura, California we were able to spend some time with Jill and Ron Morris from Jilz Gluten Free and when I asked Jill if I could share her fabulous bread recipe, she said of course! :)
While we were in their hometown, Jeff & I filmed an episode of Paleo Porn TV with them, so you could learn even more about Jilz Gluten Free.
If you’re not familiar with the company, Jill (her husband and all their staff) produce a gluten-free, Paleo cracker that crunches, tastes delicious and satisfies that missing texture in the Paleo diet…the crisp! No matter which flavor you choose I guarantee you’ll enjoy them all.
We met Jill for the first time in Austin at Paleo f(x). When she was in our area doing a demo in Chicago we went to visit her. At that time, we discussed coming out to Ventura to see the entire process LIVE at The Crackery, where all Jilz Gluten Free crackers are made.
In Ventura we learned how much Jeff & I had in common with Jill & Ron. From being a couple running a business together, to our passions for travel and minimalism alongside our love for food, we had so much to talk about aside from how they started Jilz Gluten Free. We had a fabulous time with them and I’m so excited to be able to share her story with all of you!

Aside from Jill’s fabulous Paleo crackers, I’m so grateful that Jill was cool with sharing this delicious Paleo bread too. Once you give it a taste you’ll have no need for any other bread recipes.
Jill’s Breakfast Combination
Jill got us hooked on her typical combination of toasted Paleo bread, almond butter and coconut jam. I bought a jar of the jam as soon as we got home because I really enjoyed the flavor and loved the fact that there was no added sugar.
In our house, we haven’t had a pop-up toaster ever. I was never a fan of toast so when we moved into our house I never bought one. However, we do have a mini convection oven because it is useful in more than one way. Such as warming up leftovers (which also keeps your stovetop and oven available to multi-task) and warming up pre-cooked foods like sausages and now I can use it to toast this Paleo bread!
Alternatively, if you got rid of your toaster like we did, a small skillet works just as well. I’ve been using my 6.5 inch Xtrema ceramic skillet to warm up the bread. I’ll warm it over medium-low heat on both sides and it will warm all the way through in just a few minutes. Just be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
A Shade of Green
This recipe uses organic flaxseed meal (golden or regular) as the base flour.
When you use regular flaxseed meal, instead of golden, it may turn a shade of green. Don’t be alarmed, that’s natural food coloring for ya. ;)
Uses for Paleo Bread
There’s plenty of ways you can use Paleo bread. I’ve already mentioned toast for breakfast.
You can make open face sandwiches for lunch. Or you can use two slices for a regular sandwich although the slices are pretty hearty so I wouldn’t recommend it.
You can shred up a few slices and use them for bread crumbs or really just use it anyway you’d normally use bread. I assume this is one thing you don’t need recommendations for. :)
My most recent breakfast combination has been a slice of toasted Paleo bread, a dollop of Paleo mayo, a scoop of parsnip mash topped with two fried or poached eggs.
As you can see below, I whipped up a pork belly omelet to serve with a side of toast the day we made both the golden and regular flaxseed meal recipes to shoot.
Let me know your unique combination for using Jill’s Paleo bread recipe! And don’t forget to try her fabulous crackers. Check her website for locations near you where they’re sold or simply order off her site and they will be delivered right to your door. :)
