Unlike the original grain-based version, our Paleo & Keto rendition of this French staple contains:
Scroll down to keep reading and get the recipe. For now, here's a quick video to show you how easy this French bread is to make...
As legend has it, the baguette was born when Napoleon requested loaves be formed into long baton shapes to make it easy for his soldiers to carry while in the battlefield.
Five hundred years later, you’ll still find this classic French bread - in its elongated shape - at any of the 26,000+ boulangeries in France.
Whether adorned simply with farm fresh butter or served as Jambon-beurre – a baguette sandwich filled with ham and butter – the classic French loaf lends itself to a variety of cuisines and culinary uses.
In fact, the famous bread is so versatile, it can easily star in savory and sweet dishes, alike.
Whether serving as a make-shift pizza crust in the childhood (or college!) classic French Bread Pizza… as a base for gooey English Bread Pudding… the supportive star for the Gruyere-crowned French Onion Soup… the base for True French Toast and Crostini… or as a simple vehicle to scoop up creamy dips and sop up hearty stews, it’s no wonder this bread is so popular the world over!
To be considered a true French baguette, the loaf must be 55 to 65 centimeters, weigh between 250 to 300 grams, and contain 18 grams of salt per kilogram of flour.
What’s more, per the '"baguette de tradition française"', this special loaf should be made almost exclusively with water, flour, yeast, and salt.
Of course, while using traditional ingredients yields a delicious, crusty loaf, a baguette is comprised almost entirely of gluten and carbohydrates.
And you know what that means: Bloods sugar spikes… weight gain… inflammation… more rapid aging… and much, much more!
Using our Miracle Bread Mix, we set out to create a delicious baguette that was very low in carbs, grain-free and rich in healthy fats. But to call it “a success”, our baguette had to be able to stand up to all of the classic French bread preparations.
We’re happy to report that our baguette passed with flying colors!
From providing the perfect texture for our super simple Sunday morning Keto French Toast… to holding up to a thick layer of cheese and rich broth in our French Onion Soup – our Keto French Bread provides the perfect Paleo vehicle for all of your favorite dips and toppings. Toast and top with garden-fresh tomato bruschetta… make into a French Bread Pizza… or serve with roasted bone marrow and garlic-butter escargot for a decadent, nutrient-rich, Paleo French delight!
While the vast majority of the recipes here at Wellness Bakeries don't call for a yeast preparation, we LOVE the authentic taste and additional rise active yeast can impart.
When choosing yeast, look for non-GMO active dry yeast. You'll need some warm water - between 100 F and 105 F (a kitchen thermometer is indispensable here), and something to feed the yeast.
What does yeast eat, you ask? Sugar or prebiotics!
I know this topic has a tendency to "frost people's cakes", so before you get miffed, please read our complete post on Using Yeast in Paleo and Keto Baking.
In this comprehensive article, you'll discover how much and what kind of yeast to use... basic ingredients to boost yeast's oomph... why sweetener added to bloom yeast does NOT result in higher carb counts in your baked goods, and much, much more.
To satisfy our own cravings for delicious (and truly healthy) bread, Wellness Bakeries set out to create a grain- and gluten-free, carb-conscious bread - that tastes just like the real thing.
Over the years, we tested dozens of formulas. Frankly, many were flops... some were good... a few were great... and ONE was clearly "The Best of the Best"!
Miracle Bread tastes so much like the bread you love, you'll never feel like you're missing out…
And because it’s made with functional, real-food ingredients, this divinely delicious (and nutritious) alternative has 90% fewer carbs than commercial loaf bread!
It’s also up for any preparation, including buns, baguettes and rolls... sandwich breads… pizza… calzones... and even sweet cinnamon rolls, sticky buns and decadent French toast!
And making a batch of Miracle Bread is easy. The active time is about five minutes (with no kneading or bread machine required).
You don’t have to choose between bread and your health… you just have to choose healthy bread!
Choose Miracle Bread, so you can have your bread… and be well too!™
Our goal is for YOU to enjoy all your favorite comfort foods – without a care as to how it will affect your health… or your waistline.
And as you know, better health starts with better ingredients!
That's why Wellness Bakeries chooses only the finest functional foods and "intelligent" ingredients to create our line of carb-conscious, paleo and keto-friendly baking mixes.
We’ve worked for over a decade to carefully craft these natural and organic ingredients into functional formulas to match the taste, texture and flavor of your favorite comfort foods… so you get delicious results every time!
Real Food Ingredients… Nothing Artificial!
MIRACLE BREAD INGREDIENTS: Blanched Almond Flour, Organic Flax Seed Meal, Almond Flour, Organic Psyllium Husk Powder, Cream of Tartar, Sea Salt, Baking Soda.
ALLERGEN STATEMENT: This product contains Almond.
You’ll find the printable recipe at the bottom of this post, but for now, let’s walk through it.
For this recipe, you’ll need a deep metal bowl, a hand mixer, a silicone spatula, measuring cups, a small ladle and a safe Belgian waffle iron .
You’ll also need 2 cups Miracle Mix, 8 pastured eggs, 2 Tbsp. melted butter or coconut oil, 8 ounces cream cheese (or healthy dairy-free cream cheese alternative like Kite Hill) and 2 tsp. vanilla extract.
Heat water to 100-105 F.
(NOTE: You can skip this step and proceed to Step 4 if you are not using the yeast preparation.)
Add the yeast and sweetener. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Your yeast should have "bloomed" making a nice foamy head. (If it doesn't, this means your yeast has died, and you'll need to try with different yeast)
Add the eggs, bloomed yeast mixture (or just water), sour cream or yogurt, melted butter or oil and apple cider vinegar to a large bowl.
Mix using a hand mixer for 30 seconds to combine.
Add the Miracle Bread Mix...
Blend on medium speed for 1 minute to thoroughly incorporate ingredients. Let stand 5 minutes to fully absorb the liquid.
Divide dough in half and using wet hands scoop batter onto prepared baguette pan, gently smoothing into a baton shape. Brush with egg wash and use a serrated knife or lame to make 3-4 diagonal slashes across the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 50 minutes. Your baguette dough should look like this after the rise time - look at that beautiful height! Now its time to preheat your oven to 350 F.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The exterior should be golden and crusty like the photo above. (Don't forget the egg wash!)
Remove to a wire rack and let cool for a few minutes, ideally 1 hour.
Serve warm with grass-fed butter, extra virgin olive oil, or make into any French bread creation you desire!
Prep time
30 minsCook time
1 hour 30 minsTotal time
2 hoursYield: Two 9” x 3” (23 x 8 cm) baguettes (16 slices)
Ingredients
½ cup filtered water
2 tsp. active dry yeast
2 tsp. inulin, maple syrup or honey*
3 large pastured eggs
¼ cup grass-fed butter or coconut oil, melted
¼ cup organic yogurt, sour cream or coconut cream
1 Tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Line the bottom of a French bread pan with unbleached parchment paper. Add the yeast and 2 tsp. sweetener* to a large bowl. Heat water to 105°F - 110°F (41°C - 43°C) and pour over yeast. Cover with a kitchen towel to bloom for 7 minutes.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vinegar, sour cream and melted butter.
3. Add the wet ingredients into the yeast mixture. Using a hand held mixer, beat to combine.
4. Pour in the Miracle Bread Mix and beat on medium speed to fully combine. Let stand 5 minutes to absorb liquid.
5. Divide loose dough in half to make two baguettes. Using wet hands, scoop batter onto prepared pan and shape, gently smoothing the surface. For a shiny, golden crust, gently brush with egg wash. Then using a serrated knife or lame cut 3-4 diagonal slashes across the top.
6. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a draft-free area to rise for 50 minutes. Your bread will rise roughly 1-2 inches. While your bread is rising, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Transfer risen bread to oven and bake 25-35 minutes or to internal temperature of 205°F (96°C). (To prevent over-browning, cover loosely with aluminum foil in the last 15 minutes)
7. Let baked bread cool completely before slicing. [* NOTE: Sweetener is used to feed the yeast. Once yeast blooms, no sweetener remains.]

Hi, we’re Kelley & Jon Herring… Welcome to our kitchen!
Wellness Bakeries was founded in 2006, with the mission to create the world’s healthiest and best-tasting gluten-free, carb-conscious, baking mixes.
Our goal was to make it easy for you to enjoy decadent desserts, chewy breads, crusty pizza, fluffy pancakes, crispy waffles and other sweet treats – that would not sour your health!
When we started this journey, there were no options for truly healthy baking mixes.
Everything was loaded with inflammatory grains, fake fats and sugar…or even worse, artificial sweeteners. We knew there had to be a better – and MUCH healthier – way.
So, with our backgrounds in health research, nutritional biochemistry and recipe development, we set out to use grain-free flours, healthy, slimming fats and natural no-sugar sweeteners to match the taste, texture and flavor of our favorite comfort foods.
At the time, very few people had even heard the term “gluten free.” There were no products to taste for inspiration and no recipe books to follow. It was all trial… and LOTS of errors.
Eventually, however, the experiments paid off. We discovered a few secrets. And then we made small, incremental improvements… perfecting one delicious product at a time.
And while it certainly wasn’t easy…
In 2008, Wellness Bakeries began offering our healthy baking mixes to the world.
And while our goal today is to make “healthy baking” easy for YOUR family… it all began with a desire to feed our family in a better way.
So, you can be sure that every Wellness Bakeries product is Kid-Tested & Mom Approved!
Pictured in this section, our Chief Tasting Officer is enjoying his third (ahem!) Keto Grass-Fed Beef Slider with Lacto-Fermented Pickles & Organic Cheddar Cheese.
We’re so grateful for you taking the time to visit Wellness Bakeries.
We hope you enjoy our uniquely delicious products as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you. We truly appreciate your support!
I have tried some of the sampler packs from Wellness Bakeries and so far have been very pleased with the results. I feel good about eating your products because I know the ingredients have been well researched and carefully selected. It’s wonderful to be able to satisfy my husband’s and my huge sweet tooth with desserts that are not only delicious but actually good for you!
Patty Lieberman
Thank you so much for creating your products! My husband has to watch his blood sugar carefully. I was so glad to learn that there are options for all-natural, low-glycemic desserts. I am even happier to say that we love the taste. It is hard to believe that something this good can be so good for you!

"I love what you do. I am gluten intolerant and reducing sugar, so your products fill the bill perfectly. I started with the Chocolate Bliss, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Drinking Chocolate. I have enjoyed them all! There are a lot of gluten-free products, but it is hard to find products that are gluten-free and low glycemic. Keep coming up with recipes and new products… they’re great!"
— Bari H.
"I’ve been looking for products like yours for a long time. My family loves dessert, but I hate the thought of feeding them so much sugar. We tried desserts with artificial sweeteners, but my kids always responded YUCK! We made our first batch of your cupcakes last night. I’m so impressed! More importantly, my family LOVED them!"
— Karen W.
"Going grain-free and sugar-free has been a challenge. I was looking for ways to have a treat without blowing my new way of eating. I have tried your chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies and ginger cookies. The texture in grain-free, sugar-free products is usually crumbly and mealy. But your products are exceptional! I will be trying new ones and reordering the ones I have already tried."
— Gina S.
"I love your baking mixes. When I decided to eat less gluten and sugar, I dreaded not being able to enjoy my favorite sweets. I tried some gluten-free products but none offered the right flavor and texture, until I found yours! I made the Chocolate Bliss cupcakes and they were soooo good. Didn't even get them frosted before they were gone! I don't recall how your website found me, but I’m sure glad it did!"
— Suzanne Z.
"I am so thankful for your products! I ordered Chocolate Bliss Cake and absolutely LOVE it! It is so nice to enjoy something sweet without the sugar crash of most desserts. I feel great when I eat this cake and I don’t even feel guilty!! I eat low-glycemic and paleo as much as possible. I just feel healthier and more energetic when I eat this way. I have not found anything that compares to your products!"
— Andrea H.
"I want to thank you for the delicious and OOOOH SOOOOOOO good for you desserts! I just tried them and was SO IMPRESSED with the taste, texture and, of course, clean ingredients! I am a drugless health practitioner and weight loss coach and have started sharing your website with my clients. Everyone needs to know about you! Thank you again for all you do and for offering such "wholesome" products!"
