Yay!! Day 1 of gluten free! My waist measurement has been taken. My big accomplishment for today was baking gluten free bread. I have attached the link for the recipe and do recommend watching the video as the dough looks and acts quite a bit different from wheat dough. Instead of wheat flour this bread uses a combination of brown rice, sorghum and tapioca flours. The loaf did not rise as much as expected (assuming baker error) and when cut looks like biscotti. However, it tastes very good and is quite filling. Not sure about the dunking in coffee, I'll leave that feature for someone else to venture on.
My friend with Celiac shared with me that gluten free bread is about $6 a loaf. After baking my bread, I can see why as the ingredients are more pricey.
Throughout this challenge I will be trying different recipes out and posting the ones I find tasty.

I love those authors! I have their first book (would that be unhealthy bread in 5 mins?:)
