Hands-Down Best Gluten-Free Bread (SERIOUSLY!)
It has taken me years to fully stand behind a gluten-free bread recipe. Every homemade recipe I tried was difficult, time consuming, and yielded the most disappointing results. For the longest time, buying expensive, subpar store-bought gf bread sufficed because at least I was saving time.
So many readers, though, have asked for a great-tasting gluten-free bread. Just like when testing squishy-soft gluten-free dinner rolls or a tender, fluffy gluten-free biscuit, there have been a lot of trials, but I finally landed on a recipe that exceeds my essential criteria.
- Easy to make! It mixes together in one bowl, has one short rise, and bake.
- Simple ingredients I have stocked and ready at all times
- Quick and effortless – No one wants to spend all day making a loaf of bread.
- Most important – Tastes BETTER than any gluten free bread out there. Seriously. Read the comments below!
I wouldn’t stand behind this recipe if I didn’t feel it 100% met all these crucial elements. I know what it feels like to waste precious time and expensive ingredients, and I wasn’t about to add another recipe to that vortex!
I truly hope this recipe makes all your gluten free dreams come true, just as much as it has for me! Take a look to see how this magical bread recipe has transformed our community members’ lives, and I hope you will be so convince to start working through the rest of our highly-reviewed gluten-free bread collection!
Delicious, easy bread! I have been gluten free for over 15 years and have tried countless bread recipes. This by far is the easiest AND best tasting 👍🏼

Ingredients Tid Bits
Since sandwich bread is an everyday staple, the ingredients should be simple, affordable, and ready to go whenever. This recipe also works perfectly for making a classic, moist gluten-free stuffing or I like to use leftover slices to make homemade gluten-free bread crumbs (freeze a batch to have on hand for recipes).
- Gluten-free flour – Using a good gluten free flour (I highly recommend Cup4Cup GF flour) makes or breaks the quality of the bread. I tested the recipe with different flours to make sure it consistently turns out, but some performed handedly better than others. See below for alternative GF flour recommendations.
- Psyllium Husk Powder – I’ve made the bread multiples with and without the psyllium husk powder. It doesn’t affect the taste, but it does help maintain moisture and prevents the bread from becoming crumbly. Want to know more? Learn why psyllium helps gluten-free baking.
- Honey – Granulated sugar may be substituted, but I like the moisture the honey adds. Some readers have asked about reducing the amount of sugar, and that is fine.
- Oil – Use any preferred oil. I usually use canola, but whatever floats your boat! Or substitute the same amount of melted butter, but not for gluten-free dairy-free bread.
- (Optional) Milk Powder – This is a new addition to the recipe, so it’s completely optional, but adds moisture to the bread. Recently Cup4Cup removed milk powder from their formulation, so now when I make the bread I remove 2 tablespoons GF flour and replace it with a gluten-free milk powder. Works fabulously!
Watch The Recipe
Let’s Make This Together!
(Below shows step-by-step photos and modified instructions. For the complete recipe, along with ingredient amounts, scroll down to the recipe card.)
Mix dry and then wet – easy enough?
For best results use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add all the dry ingredients – gluten-free flour, instant yeast, psyllium husk, salt, and baking powder. Once that’s combined together, add the wet ingredients – room temp eggs, oil, honey, and water.
Time to beat the dough
Now you just mix everything together on low speed. Once it’s combined, increase the speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes. This gives time to hydrate and relax the starches so your bread is soft instead of gritty. When you’re done your dough will be slightly runny and almost pourable. You’re on the right track!
Rising, but how much?
Scrape the dough into a greased bread pan. I recommend using a small pullman loaf pan because you won’t risk the bread overflowing as it bakes and it makes a nice, tall sandwich style loaf (no dinky bread slices here!) Spray a large piece of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and lay over the top of the pan. Set the pan in a warm place while the oven preheats to 350ºF, about 30-40 minutes. The bread should rise about two-thirds to the top of the pan.
How to know when it’s done and cooling tips
Remove the plastic wrap and bake the bread for 40-50 minutes, tenting a piece of foil loosely over the bread for the last 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205ºF.
I highly recommend using an instant read thermometer (the linked one is my fave!) before pulling the bread. GF breads often “look done” before they are cooked through inside, means not enough time for moisture to evaporate and a dense, gummy crumb.
If you use the recommended pullman loaf pan, you may even want to lay the loaf on its side to cool, since the loaf is a lot taller. That way you won’t risk the bread sinking in the middle as it cools. Voila, now you have the most legit, soft and squishy sandwich bread ever!
Most Important Part – Quality Gluten-Free Flour
Once the recipe was perfected, it was tested with different gluten free flours to make sure the results were consistent. This is the process I use with many of my bread recipes, including my signature artisanal GF sourdough loaf.
Initially I tested withCup4Cup, which rates as the top gluten free flour, King Arthur Measure-for-Measure, Bob’s Red Mill, and Pillsbury gluten free flour because some readers have been asking about its performance. However, as new blends have been introduced and formulas changed, I have expanded my tests.
From an ease and baking standpoint, they all performed well. Pillsbury had the most solid structure, which turned out to be a not very good thing. Cup4Cup was the softest, with King Arthur in between.
As far as taste, Cup4Cup was the clear winner. There was nothing “gluten free” tasting about the bread. It was soft, squishy, and slightly sweet. Since King Arthur has came out with their bread flour formula, I also found this to work very well.
King Arthur Measure-For-Measure and BRM absorbs liquid at different rates. Since I want this recipe to be accessible to many flour blends, I added some recommended adjustments to the recipe below yielding great results!
Sadly the bread made with GF Pillsbury flour went straight into the trash. It tasted like dry cardboard and was inedible. Pillsbury GF flour might work for other recipes, but definitely did not work well with this one!
If you have a question about using a different flour, other than mentioned here, I encourage you to read the comments below. A lot of readers have written in with which brands they used, and I have added my notes in the recipe card below.
Important Note About Serving
Generally GF bread requires toasting or a buttered griddle to taste good, but not with this GF bread (another reason why it’s the cat’s meow). Room temperature bread is exceptionally soft and fluffy.
However, please note, if pulling from the freezer and serving at room temp, thoroughly defrost the bread first. If it is chilled slightly it will become more crumbly.
Do I Need a Stand Mixer?
Yes and no. It definitely makes the sandwich bread recipe easier to throw together. It may be done with a hand held mixer, but since it uses a large amount of flour, it will be a lot more taxing on the mixer and yourself.
If you don’t want to invest in a stand mixer (although don’t get me started on how obsessed I am with mine!), a gluten-free bread machine would be a cheaper option and just as easy!

Legit Squishy-Soft Gluten Free Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups (438 g) gluten free all purpose flour, Cup4Cup gluten free flour highly recommended – see recipe notes for optional milk powder addition and alternative flour notes
- 1 (9 g) packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant rapid rise yeast
- 1 tablespoon (11 g) psyllium husk powder (optional), helps with bread moisture & structure (what is psyllium husk?)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½* cups (338 g) warm water (110°F), *see recipe note if using alternative flour
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup (85 g) honey
- ¼ cup (55 g) oil , any preferred
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix together gluten free flour, yeast, optional psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt on low speed until combined.3 cups gluten free all purpose flour, 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant rapid rise yeast, 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder (optional), 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
- Add warm water, eggs, honey, and vegetable oil. Mix on low speed to let the dough come together, about 1 minute.1 ½* cups warm water (110°F), 2 large eggs, ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup oil
- Increase speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes, scraping down paddle and bowl halfway through. The batter will be stiff, but sticky.
- Grease a 9X4 baking pan (recommended). Pour into the pan and smooth top evenly with a spatula. Spray a large piece of plastic wrap with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the plastic, greased side down, over the pan.
- Set in a warm, draft-free place to rise until the bread reaches two-thirds to the top of the pan (do not let it go over this point because it rises more in the oven). This should take about 30 minutes. Meanwhile preheat oven to 350°F.
- Remove plastic and bake bread on middle rack for 40-50 minutes, tenting a piece of foil loosely over the bread halfway through. The internal temperature of the bread should read 205°F.
- Allow the loaf to cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack. Allow bread to cool completely, at least 2 hours, before slicing. For best results, serve the bread at room temperature, toasted, or grilled. Chilled, cold bread has an adverse effect on texture.
Notes
Adding Milk Powder
This is a new addition to the recipe, so it’s completely optional, but adds moisture to the bread. Recently Cup4Cup removed milk powder from their formulation, so now I remove 2 tablespoons GF flour and replace it with 2 tablespoons gluten-free certified milk powder. You can do this with any GF flour blend, it doesn’t have to be C4C.Alternative Gluten-Free Flour Adaptations
KA Measure-For-Measure – I find this flour to be more absent of flavor and moisture, so adding an additional ¼ tsp salt, as well as modifying with milk powder (use method explained above) can help. I also recommend cutting the water to 1 ¼ cup + 2 tbsp (305 g) to build out the structure and prevent the bread sinking during cooling. King Arthur Gluten-Free Bread Flour – I recently tried this and loved the results! It has a great taste and nice soft texture. My only recommendation would be to cut back on the psyllium husk powder to 1/2 tbsp since it’s already in the flour’s blend. Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-To-1 Baking Flour – I worked with this flour quite a lot to try to mimic the texture with C4C. To counteract a “spongy,” wet crumb I recommend omit milk powder, cutting water to 1 ¼ cups (295 g), and adding ¼ cup cornstarch to the dry ingredients.Psyllium Husk Powder
I’ve made the bread multiples with and without the psyllium husk powder. It doesn’t affect the taste, but it does help maintain moisture, prevents the bread from becoming crumbly, and makes it softer. Psyllium husk powder is very affordable to buy, lasts a long time, and greatly improves GF breads texture because it helps absorb moisture. I recommend the psyllium listed in the ingredients because the lighter color doesn’t affect the bread. Some powders are darker, which will make GF baked goods a grayish, purple color.How to Make in a Bread Machine
Although I have not personally tried making this recipe in a bread machine, several readers have written in and said they’ve had great results using one! You will need a bread machine with a gluten-free setting. Add all the wet ingredients to the bottom of the bread baking pan. Then add the dry ingredients over that. Start the bread machine and set it to the “gluten-free” setting.Freezing / Storing
Gluten-free bread does not have the shelf life like normal bread. Refrigerating will dry it out, and is not recommended. It may be wrapped tightly and left at room temperature, but will lose optimal taste and texture quickly. For best results, slice and freeze the bread after it has completely cooled (at least 3 hours). Pull slices as needed from the freezer to defrost or toast from frozen. Generally GF bread requires toasting or a buttered griddle to taste good, but not with this recipe. Room temperature bread is exceptionally soft and fluffy. However, please note, if pulling from the freezer and serving at room temp, thoroughly defrost the bread first. If it is chilled slightly it will become more crumbly.This post contains affiliate links. My opinions are always my own.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE!!!! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease a week and a half ago and have really really struggled with finding a good replacement bread recipe! The GF store bought loaves have this horrible processed flavor I just cannot get over, and they are so very dry! I have been on a quest to find a good recipe to make my own. This is the first one that I tried that was not only easy, using simple ingredients and a simple process, but that had absolutely amazing results! The loaf came out so soft and so moist and had an awesomely delicious flavor. I would hug you if I could. I use to make bread multiple times a week before my diagnosis and I was completely crushed when I learned I couldn’t bake all my favorite recipes anymore. This is a total life saver. Thank you so so much!
Thank you so much, Megan. This means the world to me!

I am so confused because when I looked up how many grams were in 3 Cups of flour, it said that it was 360 grams, yet your recipe says to measure out 3 Cups of flour and you have it weighing 438 grams. How do you explain the discrepancy?
Hi Joan,
Officially Cup4Cup gluten-free flour weighs 140 grams, according to their website. The weight of flour depends on your measuring technique, which is why baking by grams is more accurate. The technique I use to make the recipe yields a weight of 438 grams. Hopefully that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
Best,
Melissa
This gluten-free bread definitely has the best texture and does not crumble apart. Even even my non-gluten-free family members loved it.
Its always nice when non-gluten-free family loves it! Thanks for taking the time to let me know, Patch.
Best,
Melissa
This recipe worked great! By far the best recipe for gluten free bread I have found! Wondering if I could swap the gluten free flour for regular flour to make for rest of my family?
Hi Kate,
I’m so happy you enjoy the recipe. Unfortunately, no, this wouldn’t work with regular flour. It was developed specifically for GF flour, which works a lot differently. If you like the taste of it, I would look at a recipe for Amish sandwich bread. That is what my mom used to make a lot growing up and what I based the flavor of the bread after.

Hey Mel, made this bread for the first time today using a slightly larger bread pan, cooked for 47 minutes and it came out delicious. When I do it again (and I will), I will just add maybe 1/4 more ingredients so the loaf hits the height and width of the slice of bread I’m trying to get.. my question is: how should I wrap it to keep it out of the freezer for at least a day to get the benefits of not having to thaw bread, and when I do have to thaw it, how? I have 2 GF boys and I too am now GF man. Thank you for this, making a PB&J on an UDI’s bread with the crust cut off is basically a wheat thin
Hi Erik,
So great to hear! If leaving it out I would wrap it as well as possible. After it has cooled completely (make sure the inside is completely cooled), wrap the whole loaf in plastic wrap and place in a ziplock bag. I wouldn’t refrigerate it, just leave it on the counter.
Best,
Melissa
Will mixing by hand work for this? I don’t have a mixer
People have done it…I don’t know if I would recommend it…I think it would be very hard. I know it works in a bread maker. You can mix it in there and then put it in the pan to rise.
Best,
Melissa
Very good recipe! I used King Arthur measure for measure gluten free flour and I also substitute butter for the oil and I imagine I got very similar results. I cut a couple slices while it was warm for dinner and it was great! I let it cool to cut the rest and it crumbled quite a bit once I got past the middle (which was still slightly warm). Personally, while not recommended, I think slicing it while it’s warm would help with the crumbling when cutting.
I appreciate your insights, Morgan. Thanks for taking the time to drop a line!

Made this recipe using great value all-purpose gluten free flour. Turned out great, added garlic, marjoram, oregano, basil and cilantro to recipe. Was great. Question: can I add cinnamon and brown sugar to recipe to make cinnamon bread for French toast?
Hi Margaret,
So happy to hear! Yes, for sure. I would follow this gluten free cinnamon bread recipe that is based off of this one and make whatever adjustments you are feeling.

Mines crumbles and I followed the instructions do I need to add xanthan gum. I’m using cup 4 cup flour. I let stand 1hr I did less prior and came out horrible. Should I let stand longer?
Hello,
I’m so sorry to hear this! My apologies for the frustrations. Do you mean you let it rise for 1 hour before baking?
Best,
Melissa
Yes my apologies that’s what I meant.
Okay, no need for xanthan gum. It’s in the Cup4Cup flour blend. After 1 hour did the bread rise to about 2/3 the way up the pan? That is what you should be looking for. If it is crumbly it seems like there is some sort of imbalance with the amount of flour or liquid added. You used Cup4Cup brand flour and added 3 cups of that to the recipe?
Best,
Melissa
Can you use regular rise yeast? And if so, what would you need to change?
Hi Michelle,
Yes, you can. Just activate it in the warm water with 1 tsp of sugar. Once it’s foamy, add it with the liquid ingredients.
Best,
Melissa
Hi, I really enjoy your recipes and appreciate that you provide nutritional info! Is a serving size 1 slice or 2?
Many thanks!

How many slices do you get per loaf?
Hello, 14 slices!
Hi. I bought King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour to make bread. Reading the back of pkg. it states “Not recommended as 1:1 substitute for yeasted recipes (breads, pizza, & buns). Ok I’m confused. Can I use it. Or did I just waste $10. Please advise .
Hi Marcie,
No, you didn’t waste money. Many readers have used that brand for this recipe. You’re all good!

My daughter just went gluten free to see if it helped any of her belly issues. This bread is amazing!!! I have several GF friends that I’m sharing it with. I was wondering if anyone tried to make burger buns with it? If so, please share. It’s like the perfect recipe! Thanks so much!! I used Bobs Red Meal.
Hi Bonnie! I hope going gluten-free helps your daughter and I’m so glad you love the bread. I actually have a Burger Bun Recipe. Check it out! Thanks for sharing the love with your gluten-free friends!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve tried so many options for a GF bread and finally found one that is soft and tasty. It is not dry. I made a half loaf in my Pullman loaf pan and expect this will be gone in a couple days. The recipe is perfect. I did use the psyllium husk as recommended.
Yes! This makes me so happy to hear, Cheryl! Thank you so much for sharing!

We are newly Gluten Free and learning to adapt for young kids who love their PB&J sandwiches. The store bought options haven’t been the best since the slices are so small. This recipe was so easy and even on the first try I thought it was a success. Though, I felt the bread came out a bit dense, almost cake like on the inside and not fluffy and light. Can I adjust anything to change that? I cooked for 44 minutes and internal temp was reading just over 205*.
Hi Eileen,
Sure, I’d be happy to help. What GF flour did you use? If it’s too dense you might have to cut back on the flour a bit. Unfortunately all the different blends don’t exactly have the same consistent results.
Best,
Melissa
Hi Melissa, I used the Cup4Cup GF Flour
Hmm, I’m not sure if the denseness is coming from the flour or water amount. It would be helpful to see a pic of the inside. Next time you make it can you email me a picture? Also, you are using psyllium and what type of bread pan?
Best,
Melissa
It’s the Best recipe for Gluten Free Bread I’ve had made. After 13 years of trying to get and try a bread recipe, this has been the softest bread without breaking apart. Very good and I don’t buy G F bread at the stores anymore. And I know the magic ingredient is the Psyllium Husk. Thankyou for printing such a great recipe! It’s a 5 Star for Us.
Oh, thank you, Marianna. I was thrilled to not have to buy store bought bread anymore after developing this recipe, so I’m happy you feel the same!

This recipe has been my go-to for sandwich bread for my family. I make two loaves at a time, let them cool completely, and then slice and freeze. We take out two pieces at a time, toast, and use for sandwiches.
I live at elevation, use King Arthur Measure for Measure gf flour, and sub in olive oil. My results have been dependably reliable.
The embedded ingredients in each step make following the recipe a breeze and that’s no small convenience!
THANK YOU for sharing your hard work and perfect recipe.
You are so welcome, Katie! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. It means a lot. 🙂

Oh my gosh. I just realized I was wrong- I use Cup 4 Cup with this recipe! I don’t think I can edit my review, but wanted to make sure to correct.
No worries! Thanks for the follow up.

Could I use something other than vegetable oil? Avocado oil or olive oil perhaps? I really try to avoid seed oils.
Yes, Haley! You can use any preferred oil. 🙂

I’m confused about cup 4 of flour. Do that just apply when you’re kneading it? Mind is currently cooking in my bread machine. Should I have added more flour to the mix?
Sorry for the confusion, Valerie. Cup4Cup is the name brand of the flour. It confuses many people who aren’t familiar with it. Wish it had a better name!
Best,
Melissa
How would I make this into lemon/blueberry bread? I assume i can add blueberries but would i need to add extra flour or something to add lemon juice/zest?
Hi Catherine,
Yes, you can do that. No extract flour, but I would add 1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon extract. You may also want to increase the sugar, unless you like a less sweet bread. The other option would be to use a quick bread recipe, which is traditionally what a lemon blueberry bread is. It is more sweet. If you’d like to do that route, I would use this gluten-free apple bread recipe. Omit the streusel topping, apples, and cinnamon. Instead of brown sugar use 3/4-1 cup granulated sugar total. Then you can add the suggested lemon zest and extract with the blueberries. Hope this helps!
Best,
Melissa
Thanks for this recipe, I’m really excited to try it out! I had a question about the nutrition information. Your yield is 14, I’m assuming that’s 14 slices? Is the nutrition information at the bottom per slice? Thank you so much!
Hi Sabrina,
Yes, if the bread is sliced in 14 slices, than 1 slice is a serving.
Best,
Melissa
After baking and tasting it, I chose 4 stars become I don’t know yet how it will last. Generally it’s one of the best recipes for plain bread that I’ve found and it was easy to make. I did bake it in my bread machine, and can’t predict how much more it would have risen if I’d done it manually, but so far so good! Thanks.
Great, thanks for sharing, Valerie!
Best,
Melissa
Love the flavor of this bread! How can I make it less dense? I don’t get the same flexibility/squisability. I’m using King Arthur Measure for Measure. Thanks!
Hi Shannon,
I would love to help. Are you using the psyllium? You can try to cut back on the flour slightly, perhaps by 1/2 cup and see if that helps.
Best,
Melissa
I am using the psyllium. We have made 4 loaves so far. I’ll try reducing the flour this next time. Thank you!!
Let me know if that helps!
Wow! FINALLY, I think the search is over.
Yes! That makes me happy!
Best,
Melissa
Hi Melissa,
Love the bread. My wife is gluten intolerant so I am so pleased to have found your recipe.
Shortly after I remove the bread from the oven the loaf starts to fall in the centre.
Can you suggest what it is that I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks for your help.
Jim
Hi Jim,
Glad to hear you are enjoying the recipe. Here’s some things I would try. Next time I would bake it longer, maybe 5-10 minutes, and tent foil over the top. I’m not sure what GF flour you are using, but you may also want to cut back on the water a tad, maybe about 1/4 cup. It’s about getting the moisture and dry ratios accurate to set the structure. Also, when it comes out of the oven, take it out of the pan and lay it on it’s side to cool. Hope this helps!
Best,
Melissa
Yes, I was saying to use 1/2 the amount of xanthan gum to psyllium husk powder. That is: recipe calls for 1T php-use 1.5 tsp xg
Autocorrect on my phone changed psyllium to paper
Thanks for clarifying!
Has anyone tried this with bobs red mill 1 for 1 flour? Thanks!!
Hi Morgan,
I have. It works. I don’t feel like the taste and texture is as good as other GF flour blends, but if you have used it in other GF bread recipes and find it works well for you, you can definitely use it here too!
Best,
Melissa
I’ve made this twice and it is super delicious and easy. Best bread recipe I’ve tried, and I’m so grateful! I’m not getting the same rise though. I used Bobs Red Mill 1:1 flour. I saw one other comment from someone with a similar issue, but the answer wasn’t clear to me. Does the Bobs Red Mill GF flour cause an issue with this recipe?
Hello,
I’d be happy to troubleshoot. Are you not getting the rise before putting it in the oven, or as it’s baking?
Best,
Melissa
I get good rise before the oven, no rise in the oven.
Even still, it’s still the best GF bread recipe I’ve tried. My daughter has recently been diagnosed with gluten intolerance, so I’m new to GF baking.
Hmm, that’s strange. And you are adding the baking powder? I would try to increase the baking powder to 1 1/2 tsp and see if that helps. Let me know!
Best,
Melissa
I have been gf for over 15 years and never have I tasted a bread this good. I’ve never baked bread before and this was very easy to make, I did use psyllium husk and the results are wonderful.
I appreciate this so much, Lisa. Thanks you greatly for taking the time to let me know!
Best,
Melissa
This bread is wonderful! The psyllium husk powder makes the best loaf, but my husband reacts to it, so I use 1½ tsp xanthan gum instead and King arthur 1to1 gf flour.
I’ve found to use 1/2 the amount of paper in most recipes.
So lovely to hear, Nell! Thank you so much for sharing the modification. So helpful!
Best,
Melissa
Hi! So I’m using KA’s too. What does 1/2 the amount of paper mean? I’m wondering if I should adjust slightly. I just made this one and haven’t eaten it yet as it’s fresh! Looks so good but I didn’t get a big rise and I am wondering if it’s the flour maybe.
Hi Natalie,
I’m trying to figure out this typo for you, but I’m at a loss. If you are using KA and the psyllium, though, you don’t have to worry about any adjustments. I think she was referring to something about subbing xanthan for psyllium.
Best,
Melissa
Oh thank you! I did end up making this and it was delicious! I did a larger pan though which I’m learning is a 2lb pan I think. So I need to double my recipe next time or use a smaller one like suggested 😂 soo good though!
Hi Natalie,
I wouldn’t suggest doubling the recipe because that would be a lot for your mixture to handle. I don’t think you would get a good enough mix. I’ve baked it in a 9X5 loaf pan before I bought my 1 lb pullman pan. Do you have one of those?
Best,
Melissa
