Best Gluten Free Bread Ever!!

So, the other day while I was making dinner, I decided to try my hand at a new gluten free bread recipe (I never have had much luck before.  It always turned out too hard or crumbly, was too difficult, too much sugar or required dairy).  Multitasking can get really interesting in my kitchen and I have been known to create completely new dishes while trying to follow too many different recipes at once (although I have to say half of these new concoctions aren’t too shabby).  Anyway, I was following a recipe I found on the internet and ended up adding a little too much apple cider vinegar to the mix, however I didn’t know it at the time.  The bread turned out fantastic!  It was light and fluffy!  Perfect!  It was so good, it didn’t last a day in our house.  Sooooo, the next day I decided to make another two loaves, but actually followed the recipe correctly….wasn’t quite the hit it was the night before.  The third time was perfect!  My family loves this stuff and it’s so easy to make!

I know many of my friends suffer from gluten sensitivities and struggle to find a good bread replacement.  So, here ya go!  And enjoy!!
