Note

The original recipe mentions eggs as an optional ingredient ("OR 2 lg Eggs"). If you choose to use eggs, add them during the mixing stage. If keeping it vegan, omit the eggs as the recipe is designed to work without them.

For a variation, you can add 2 tablespoons of fennel seeds or other dried herbs to the dry flour mixture for an herbed bread.

The dough can be shaped into hot dog buns or hamburger buns after the first rise instead of using loaf pans.

Ensure your mixer is powerful enough to handle the thick gluten-free dough; a stand mixer with a dough hook is recommended.

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.

The recipe can be doubled if needed.
