    Nice bread but way too much liquid. Had to add another 150g flour. I can't have xanthan gum so left it out but was still edible 😋

    tip

    I added the Xanthum gum to the milk while it was souring so it would swell up as suggested by a friend.

    It also worked in my Halogen oven (30 minutes at 200 then turned over and cooked for another 15).

    Even though I didn't read the instruction properly (added the egg instead of keeping it for the wash so needed to add more flour) it is still the best GF soda bread I've made to date.

    Thank you.

    How much salt please? Mentioned in the method but not in ingredients list. My dough was very sloppy so I had to add a fair bit more of flour - is this ok or should I use less liquid? I was recently diagnosed gluten intolerant and all my bread making so far has been a disaster - heavy and bricklike.
