Ever tried gluten-free bread?

Yeah, ew. That was my reaction too. The bread lacks that very thing that makes it bread – an elastic dough that makes each bite truly scrumptious. I recently tried a banana bread recipe constructed by Elizabeth Hasselbeck, an American television personality with a surprising talent in the kitchen. Check out this fabulous banana bread recipe that brings maximum taste and texture using minimum ingredients.
