This recipe is the perfect opportunity to share a bit of information about a subject that many people wonder about; Gluten.

Gluten is naturally present in many grains, such as Wheat, Rye, Spelt, Kamut, Barley and Oatmeal. Gluten is a set of proteins that allows the bread to rise, naturally. This is known as a visco-elastic property which helps bakers when making bread, a lot. Therefore, making gluten-free bread is a tedious process compared to the making of your regular gluten-filled bread.
