more moist, cf seemed more dense both very good!

1/2 t Salt

1 t Baking Soda

Bake in loaf pans or round casseroles. Bake at 325 for 50 minutes.

I ate some and ran a fever, found out honey is not good for systemic candida or whatever I have.

Stick to the agave instead of honey. You could also try stevia or xylitol.

I'm hypoglycemic, so I came up with this. It is loaded with protein. I used to eat the 11 grain bread before going on this diet, so that is what I was trying to do.

I'm not one to spend a lot of time perfecting a recipe, but I made this and loved the taste. If you find a way to get this to rise, I'd be very interested
