Tips & Notes
- No oat flour on hand? Grind about 1 cup of the same gluten-free rolled oats in a blender for 30 seconds to make the 3/4 cup the honey oat bread needs.
- Tent the honey oat bread with foil after 30 minutes. Honey and milk brown the crust quickly before the center finishes baking.
- Wait at least 2 hours before slicing. The crumb of gluten-free bread is still setting as it cools and turns gummy if cut warm.
