Tips & Notes
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check the loaf. Gluten-free sandwich bread can brown well before the center is done, and 205-210°F in the middle means it will not be gummy.
- Do not let the dough rise much past the rim of the pan. Over-proofed gluten-free dough has nothing to hold the gas and often sinks in the oven.
- For holiday stuffing, cut the cooled loaf into 3/4-inch cubes and dry them on a sheet pan at 300°F for 20-25 minutes, stirring once, until crisp.
