Gluten-free Gourmand

Years ago I posted the very popular Best Teff Sandwich Recipe.   That recipe uses xanthan gum and eggs, which some people can't do.  Here I have developed a recipe that's xanthan gum free, egg-free, and vegan.  Check out the Artisan Teff Bread Recipe if you'd like to use my bread flour blend .
