There’s something satisfying about putting bread in the oven to bake. The smell wafts through the house, and anticipation builds for a satisfying treat.
Here’s a favorite quick gluten-free and grain-free bread that works for toast, for sandwiches, or for dinner. If you like a heavier bread, such as rye bread, then you’ll enjoy this recipe.
Even though this bread is flat, it slices well for sandwiches, and it stands up to being filled with all the sandwich fixings.
Since this is a fresh bread, be sure to keep it in the refrigerator. It will mold in a couple of days if left at room temperature. It also freezes well.
