bread!!!

One of the hardest gluten free recipes to replicate at home is a simple loaf of bread.  I have tried mixes, pre-made bread (Udi's is the best so far but contains corn sweetner and cornstarch, neither of which my gluten free child can have), and nut breads to take its place, but continued to miss sandwich bread.  That is, until this recipe, which I recently picked up from the Feingold bulletin board after it was posted by another mom.  This is so delicious, I can't even tell it's not made with wheat flour.

My youngest enjoys eating this topped with Earth Balance soy free spread.  Now that Daiya is coming out with dairy free cheese blocks, I think grilled cheese sandwiches could even be on the horizon again!!
