TIPS ON MAKING FANTASTIC GLUTEN-FREE BREAD

* Most of the recipes in this book use a lot more liquid than breads made with gluten.

* The dough mixture needs to be very liquid—it should be soft enough to fall from a wire whisk, while still holding some shape.

* It is important to aerate the mixture, and the best way to do this is by using a wire whisk and vigorously whisking for a few minutes.

* To get a smooth surface on the top, dip a metal spoon in cold water and run it over the top of the dough. Repeat, dipping the spoon in water each time, to cover the top.
