Low Carb Kalamata Olive Bread. I have waited for this moment for so long. Briny, chewy, bready, and hardly any carbs. Hardly any !!
For this recipe you’ll need: egg, olive oil, kalamata olive brine, flax meal, almond meal, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and kalamata olives.
If you are in a hurry, feel free to Jump to the RecipeSo, finally creating a sandwich bread I loved yesterday inspired me and I wondered if I could do the same with something a bit more… artisan. One of my favorite breads has always been Kalamata olive bread. I love the chewiness, the briny flavor, the olives.
To me, olives are summer. I don’t know when they are harvested and honestly I don’t care, but I can eat olives and drink a little wine and imagine I am in Italy on a summer afternoon. It’s a mini-vacation without the jet lag.
Well, this low-carb kalamata olive bread is something I am going to be making a lot. It is awesome good and I have all kinds of ideas of how I want to use it. Today I fixed a platter with some deli meat, bleu cheese, olives, artichokes, and the bread. My husband is working late, the kids wanted fried chicken from the Colonel’s, and I had this.
Poor me, right? HA!
Be careful not to overcook the bread or it will be dry. Undercook it just a touch, the top will still be moist, and then let it stand for a minute or two to finish cooking.

Thank you so, so much for sharing this recipe. I only had brown flax seed flour, so it is darker than the picture. After I took it out of the microwave, I was very dubious about this bread, it looked very odd to me….. Followed instructions, let it cool down, sliced, had a couple with butter and a couple without. DIVINE.
I look forward to delving further into your blog and recipes so I can continue to make better choices for body, mind and spirit.
Thanks again!
