Bake Your Own

If you’re feeling ambitious, or adventurous – or a little of both – then by all means why not try your hand at baking your own gluten-free bread?

I’ve baked my own gluten-free bread many times, and it takes maybe two hours, tops – start to finish!

If you decide to go this route, the first thing you’ll need is a good recipe and you’ll find numerous resources online, or at your local bookstore.

My favorite recipes come from sites like Whole Life Nutrition or The Gluten-Free Goddess.
