This recipe is SO quick and easy to prepare! But more importantly, it's delicious! In fact, thanks to finding this recipe, I've decided that I'm done with buying $10 loaves of GF bread. This is better and at a fraction of the price! I used 2 cups of white rice flour and a half cup of brown rice flour. I also reduced the sugar/ sweetener (allulose in my case) to 2 Tbsp instead of 3, just because I prefer my bread less sweet. Thank you so much for this fabulous recipe!

We loved this loaf! Very simple to throw together. Only reason I removed a star is 1, the psyllium reacted with the baking powder and made the loaf slightly purple and it took WAY longer than 35min to bake even with the same size pan and bigger pan. Held together great without becoming crumbly like many gluten free bread. Can't wait to make a grilled cheese and French toast with this! Thanks!
