Notes
- Since I am gluten free, I always use gluten free flour.
- This recipe can be made using all purpose flour if you are not gluten free.
- Do not bake too long. Check the bread after about 35 minutes.
- This gingerbread loaf is done baking when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The middle will have puffed up into a beautiful dome shape.
- Allow the bread to fully cool before slicing and serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- If needed, store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 months. Individually wrap each piece and thaw as needed.
