Notes
*these are optional but give the bread a heartier texture plus fiber and healthy fat.
The bread will not rise as much as bread made with regular flour will. The pieces will be smaller but still delicious! You can make this bread into muffins by portioning the batter into a muffin tin and baking at the same temperature for 16-18 minutes.
