Keto & GF – Stone Age Nut & Seed Bread (Viking/Danish Bread)
Introduction
If you’re seeking a bread option that’s hearty, flavorful, and aligns with gluten-free and keto lifestyles, Stone Age Nut & Seed Bread delivers. Also known as Viking or Danish bread (“Stenalderbrød”), this recipe is packed with an aromatic blend of nuts and seeds, offering a dense texture and nutty, satisfying bite. With no flour or yeast required, it’s the ultimate make-ahead bread for meal preppers, lunch-packers, and anyone who loves simple, wholesome baking.
Why Stone Age Nut & Seed Bread Stands Out
Unlike traditional breads, this keto and gluten-free loaf skips grains entirely, relying instead on a carefully balanced mix of nuts, seeds, and eggs for structure and nutrition. Each slice is loaded with fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein, making it both sustaining and deeply satisfying. Whether toasted for breakfast or paired with your favorite soup, it’s a hearty and versatile addition to your weekly meal rotation.
The Magic of Mixing Nuts & Seeds
What truly sets this bread apart is its customizable nature. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, and chia all provide different textures and nutrients. To make the best loaf, chop the larger nuts to get a uniform consistency, and toast the seeds first for extra flavor. A scoop of psyllium husk helps bind everything together, while olive oil and eggs keep the bread moist and tender.
How to Assemble and Bake Your Loaf
Making Stone Age bread is straightforward: simply mix your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet in another, then combine and press into a lined loaf pan. Baking low and slow ensures everything binds perfectly and the crust forms a delicious crunch. It’s an ideal recipe for batch baking—one loaf lasts all week in the fridge and toasts up beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this bread sliced thick and topped with smashed avocado, smoked salmon, nut butter, or dairy-free spreads. Use it as the base for open-faced sandwiches or alongside soups and salads for a nourishing, grain-free meal. For a gourmet touch, add herbs or spices to the dough before baking, or sprinkle the top with extra seeds.
