When I baked this bread, I was hoping for rustic, healthy bread. Quickbreads are great at showcasing ingredients like nuts and berries, fruits, vegetables, and rustic grains. This turned out a little heavy, and super delicious. It really hits the spot. This bread is very filling, high-fiber, and nutrient-rich without gluten. Give this a try.
