I made it on the cookie sheet Friday night but I have a couple of requests for repeat loaves…. so I will follow your advice this time around. I don’t know why I had such a mental block with this but thanks so much again AMY. I don’t ever need an excuse to make this a second time.

Then I remove it so that it bakes all the way through and isn’t too wet in the center. I think the parchment will trap steam if it’s not removed.

I love the caraway and currents too. Lots of butter for me.

It has the most delicious flavor with the currents and the caraway seeds- the whole house smells delish and i cannot wait to cut a piece right away and semi-slather with butter.
I still get confused about the pizza stone. Do I use parchment with the pizza stone or not? Somehow I make it work and have no complaints but this gets me stuck every time I make this.
Thanks Amy! C

I made it twice this weekend. While I was concerned about the potentially strong flavor of the garfava, I needn’t worry, as your flour blend for this bread is just perfect. The first time, I made it with hemp milk and the second time with buttermilk. Both times I used Earth Balance butter. It was good both times, though I preferred it with the buttermilk. I served the 2nd version for a gathering at my house this afternoon and thankfully have one piece left which I’ll have for breakfast tomorrow. It is one of the best gluten free breads I’ve made (and I’ve baked ALOT of GF breads). The only comment or question I’d pose is that I really couldn’t form the dough into a ball, and though I oiled the parchment paper, there was no way that the dough would slide onto the pizza stone. I had to sort of inch it little by little with a metal spatula and it ended up getting a little unformed. Once I got the whole thing onto the pizza stone, I wet the edge of the spatula and reformed the loaf. That worked fine in the end. And it certainly didn’t affect the flavor. It is superb!

It was so delicious. I finished it off late topped with cheese. Thank you! Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes.
