The Gluten-Free Girl's Crusty Bread Recipe

Gluten-free bread is the great quest of those who cannot eat the protein. It can be done, but here’s the key: don’t expect gluten-free bread to be the familiar gluten bread. Without gluten, bread is always going to be a bit less pliable, a little drier, and more of an unexpected texture than you wish. But once you get past the stubborn notion that everything should be the way it always was, you can have bread again.There is gluten-free bread that you buy from the refrigerated section of the grocery store, just to make a quick piece of toast. It’s more like a soggy bagel texture, but it does the job fine. And then there’s bread that even someone who can eat gluten can enjoy. That’s this bread.Adapted from the "Gluten-free Girl and the Chef" by Shauna James Ahern and Daniel Ahern.
