Gluten free bread is not very nice, the word cardboard springs to mind everytime and the shop bought gf breads have so many additives and that just puts me right off! So I can tell you after lots of trial and error I have found a good one, "Odlums -Gluten Free- Tritamyl brown bread mix", just add water. I also add linseeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds to jazz it up a bit and even the non glutens think its edible, to make a more savoury loaf you could add crushed garlic and olives:).I also used the gf brown bread flour mix to make some lovely scones, however doves farm rice flour is fine too..they go very nice with some homemade butternut squash and sweet potato soup which is very easy to make also.
