Can I use fresh or frozen berries instead of dried fruit? Will I need to reduce water or alter any ingredients?

Hi Susan,

Since gluten free recipes are complex I would not substitute fresh or frozen for dry. The only thing you could do is try baking the fresh fruit in the oven at a low temperature around 250F till most of the moisture has evaporated.

Happy Baking!

I’d like to make the three smaller loaves and freeze two of them for another time. Does this recipe freeze well?

Hi Lisa,

I have not frozen these loaves before but typically Gluten Free bread freezes just fine. I would tightly wrap them in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer ziploc.

Happy Baking!

I hate rice flour. Can you use any other gluten free flour in place of rice flour?

Hi Elizabeth,
You can certainly experiment with other gluten-free flours. Just keep an eye on your dough as flour absorption varies between different flours.

Happy baking!
Carol
