This loaf is a nut-free version adapted from my new roots life changing loaf . No, it’s not a crusty loaf with a pillowy soft crumb that defies the laws of gluten-free baking. It’s something else! That’s what I’m starting to learn about gluten-free baking; do not expect your bakes to exactly replicate their gluten-rich counterparts. This recipe makes a dense bread, full of flavour and nutrition, and easy to make. Cut your slices thinly, double toast them for a crispy texture and contrast the crisp with creamy textures, avocado is perfect.
