Default Gluten-Free Flax Bread

I tried a new bread recipe tonight. This recipe is easy and the bread is awesome!! It's fluffy, and moist, and tender...and it didn't fall like all my other loaves! The taste is excellent and the texture reminds me of store-bought wheat bread!

This can also be made dairy-free and/or vegan.

You can find the recipe here:

I didn't have garfava flour, so I subbed using someone else's suggestions:

For the 1 1/4 cups gf flour mix:
1/2 cup sorghum
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca

and in place of the 1/4 cup garfava I used 1/4 cup sorghum.

I also used 3 eggs instead of the 2 eggs and 2 egg whites, and 1 package of yeast (2 1/2 tsp I think) instead of the 2 tsp the recipe called for.

Mine raised in about 40 minutes - I put it in a warmed oven with a bowl of hot water. Just remember to pull that bowl out before you bake.

I also put foil over the top for the last 10 minutes of bake time - I like the crust a little softer, rather than crunchy.

You can find more tips and discussion about this recipe here:

Yah, I've been hopping.

Finally I can have a sandwich on bread instead of a bun! YAY!!

Question: Could I sub buckwheat for the sorghum and still get the same texture?
