Unlike traditional trattoria-style garlic bread baskets, our Paleo & Keto version of this Italian classic bread contains:

Ahh, garlic bread. That butter-drenched loaf, topped with loads of fresh-pressed garlic, butter, just-picked parsley and aged cheese. With such an assortment of crave-worthy flavors, it’s no wonder this bread has become a staple in Italian-American cuisine.
Allegedly originating from the classic and ancient Bruscetta- a crusty bread topped with a marinated tomato topping - garlic bread, like many recipes, was apparently a "happy accident".
Legend has it that when tomatoes and olive oil were scarce in Little Italy, Italian immigrants substituted garlic, butter and herbs in their old-world Bruscetta recipe.
And, as they say... the rest is history.
Before we talk about the bread, let’s talk about its vitally important culinary companion in this recipe: Garlic!
Few ingredients have such deep-rooted and world-wide history in cuisine as the “stinking rose”.
From the wildly popular garlic-and-herb Chimichurri… to Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic… to Mussels with White Wine and Garlic… to Garlic Shrimp – and practically everything Italian – garlic is a culinary boon with a myriad of medicinal benefits.
In fact, much of the culinary allure (and health benefits!)of garlic come from its shape-shifting ability to form a variety of different compounds - each with unique flavors and biological activities.
Boasting more than 100 sulfur compounds, the unmistakable smell and flavor of garlic is due to a phytonutrient called allicin. This sulfur-containing compound is only formed in garlic when it is crushed.
You see, when we break the cell walls of the “stinking rose”, we cause an enzyme called allinase to combine with alliin. This creates a compound called allicin, which is the trademark scent of garlic.
But garlic’s shape-shifting doesn’t end there. Three allicin molecules combine to form another powerful compound called ajoene, which then morphs into many other delicious and health-promoting compounds.
Since the days of Hippocrates, this medicinal bulb has been used medicinally to treat everything from the common cold to athlete’s foot.Not only is garlic a powerful, broad spectrum anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent, it also:
Because allicin is destroyed by heat, the greatest health benefits of garlic come from eating it fresh. And for maximum benefit, crush or press the cloves, and allow the garlic to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the health-promoting bioactive compounds to fully form – providing you with garlic’s maximum benefit.
So now that you know about garlic’s “superfood” status, you might suspect that the redeeming ingredients in garlic bread… don’t include the bread!
Like most Italian comfort foods, traditional garlic bread is well-known for its reliance on wheat flour – an ingredient that spikes your blood sugar faster than drinking an icy cola!
Not to mention the issues with today’s strains of wheat. In fact, today’s wheat - thanks to selective breeding and genetic manipulation -contains much high levels of gluten than those in old-world strains. The result is bread that is much higher in harmful inflammatory and immune-stimulating compounds than the wheat our ancestors ate.
But using our wildly popular and incredibly versatile Miracle Bread Mix, we recreated the red-sauce dipping, Little Italy bread classic - with all of the same enticing flavors, textures and aromas – without the gluten, grains and carbs.
In fact, each butter-drenched and garlic-imbued slice of this hearty bread contains a mere 3 NET carbs, making it the perfect accompaniment for your favorite Italian Keto Meals. I especially love serving this fragrant garlic bread alongside my Keto Chicken Parmigiana with Zoodles… Keto Paleo Meatballs… and Superfood Keto Paleo Bolognese with Zucchini Pappardalle – all found in our new free meal plan – Keto Comfort Food Italian.
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!™

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.
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.
Remove to a wire rack and let cool for a few minutes, ideally 1 hour.
Split bread lengthwise using a serrated knife and spoon on the garlic mixture.
Shape: Customarily beginning as a baguette, garlic bread is usually made by either splitting the loaves in half (as we've done here) or slicing into rounds. The bread gets toasted and then topped generously with a garlic mixture before being baked to let the flavors meld.
Servings: The recipe below demonstrates how you can make garlic bread from an entire batch of Miracle Bread. But you can easily make this recipe from a portion of your pre-baked Miracle Bread to serve your family’s needs.
Dairy Free: Use coconut yogurt or cream and coconut oil in the dough; use olive oil or a combination of olive oil and palm shortening in the garlic topping. Omit the Parmesan or use Homemade Paleo Parmesan (find the recipe in our free guide, Paleo Cheeses).
Prep time
30 minsCook time
1 hour 30 minsTotal time
2 hoursYield: Two 9” x 3” (23 x 8 cm) baguettes (16 servings)
Ingredients
Bread
½ cup filtered water (120 ml)
2 tsp. active dry yeast (6 g)
2 tsp. inulin, maple syrup or honey (10 ml)*
3 large pastured eggs (150 g)
¼ cup grass-fed butter or coconut oil, melted (56 g)
¼ cup organic yogurt, sour cream or coconut cream (60 g)
1 Tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
Topping
¼ cup grass-fed butter, melted
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
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.
8. Cut loaves in half lengthwise. Crush garlic cloves. Grate Parmesan. Chop parsley.
9. In a small bowl, combine remaining butter, olive oil and garlic.
10. Toast cut loaves to golden. Spread the butter-garlic-oil mixture evenly over the toasted baguettes. Top with Parmesan and parsley.
11. Return to oven and broil for 30 seconds - 1 minute to melt cheese.
12. Serve immediately.
[* 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!"
