In scouring the internet for a suitable homemade bread recipe, I, of course, landed uponElana’s Pantry and her Cranberry Almond Bread.
I was intrigued by the fact that her bread recipe contained ZERO grains…the base of the bread being almond butter. YES!
A Gluten-Free Bread Recipe
YAY!! Since I happened to have an unopened jar of almond butter, I set to finessing this delightful bread recipe to suit what I had in my mind.
And booyah! The end product was just as I had hoped.
A gluten-free bread recipe that just barely sweet from the figs and toothsome from the added rosemary. The nuts, seed and almond butter give this Rosemary, Fig and Nut Bread recipe a delightful texture that paired perfectly with the soft and creamy goat cheese I had in mind. (Are you starting to drool just a wee bit?) and a relatively low carb bread recipe to boot!
And then…top the whole thing with a drizzle of honey and you have the PERFECT appetizer, snack or breakfast treat.
Can you freeze this Bread?
YES! In fact, I freeze the just-baked loaves and then cut them later to toast them into crackers – a great gluten-free snack relatively low in carbs.
This Rosemary, Fig and Nut Bread recipe whips up fairly quickly and can also be made in advance and frozen.

I used my grandmother’s 40+year-old food slicer,similar to this one, to slice the semi-frozen homemade bread loaves into even slices. I toasted some of the slices, which made them less chewy. My hubby preferred the Rosemary, Fig and Nut Bread recipe toasted, while I preferred it not toasted.
While the world may be divided along political lines, I think we can all come together and agree that the combination of gluten-free homemade bread, goat cheese, honey, and rosemary is probably one of the greatest combinations…EVER! In fact, if we all just consumed a regular dose of the combination, I’m pretty sure that harmony would envelop the planet. Agreed? I’ll do my part…like right now!

This bread pairs so well with many things, but our favorite way to enjoy it is with a dollop of jam. Some of our favorite jams to pair with this bread are:
- Easy Plum Jam
- Dried Fig Conserve
- Spiced Rum Pear Jam
- Spiced Golden Plum Jam
And while I’m pushing the whole goat cheese + honey thing right now, let me just say that a shmear of Brie wouldn’t be so bad either…or heck, just about any cheese would pair well with this delicious homemade bread.
