RAISIN PUMPKIN BREAD GLUTEN FREE
I have to eat gluten free. My husband doesn't have to but he does. When I make the food homemade it is so much like what we have always known that it isn't a hardship. This is a lovely, moist pumpkin raisin bread. I use Better Batter® Gluten-Free all-purpose flour. I measure by weight and that has made all the difference! I refuse to use bean flour mixes; who wants bean flavor in their sweets? Let it cool completely or it will not hold together. Once it is cooled you can slice and serve. Enjoy!

- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
