Can this be made in a non-iron pan, like a non stick cake pan with success?
Yes, Bernadette, you can make it in a round, nonstick (or lined) cake pan. The heavier gauge the better.
Hi Nicole
I usually bake in silicone baking pans. Is this going to be a big mistake, or a mildly tolerable one? How high does the bread rise?
Thanks – love your recipes

I do not recommend baking in silicone, Mark, as it tends to discourage rising. It’s especially unwise for a recipe like this that is designed to be made in a heavy metal pan.
This was so good! Even my husband loved it. We had it for supper—something we never do!
Great to hear, Anna! It’s great for a dinner side, and actually keeps really well for a second night if wrapped tightly and stored at room temperature.
20 fluid oz seems a lot! I made it with 500 ml / 2 cups of Buttermilk but it still turned out quite moist and soggy… Putting it together seemed more like making a mud cake ; )
Tina, the recipe works when made as written. Please have a look at any substitutions that you made, including your flour blend (you must use one of my recommended blends), and measuring by volume, not weight.
Hello Nicole. Thank you for the recipe. It’s nice to have a not-sweet quick bread. Can the bread be baked in a different type of pan? I don’t have any cast iron.
Sure, Sarah. You can make it in a round, nonstick (or lined) cake pan. The heavier gauge the better.
What brand name of thinner yogurt can be used? I am so excited to be able to try a gf bread that will Finally taste good-I’ve tried so many and they failed miserably. I hope to find one that my husband will like. Anxious to try this one.
Hi, Deb, you can use half plain yogurt and half milk, not all yogurt. And I’m just referring to the European-style yogurt, not Greek-style or whipped, thicker yogurts.
Hello….
I was wondering where I could get your cook books, I live in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
Hi, Columbia, you can find my cookbooks anywhere books are sold, including Amazon and Chapters/Indigo. I hope that’s helpful!
Hi Nicole, because I am student who only has an electric oven in my dorm room can I make this as muffins and if so how long do I cook them and at what temperature. By the way I’ve loved every one of your recipes I’ve tried.
I’m afraid you can’t use this recipe to make muffins, no, Jill. I’d try one of my recipes for muffins, as they’re really not interchangeable, especially for this, which is not a regular quick bread.
I can’t wait to try it,I may make one with raisin too.
Do you have a recipe for easter bread? The one with the colored egg in it?I used to make individual loaves for everyone. So pretty on the dinner table.
Hi, Janet, I’m afraid I don’t have a recipe for Italian Easter bread. They are really beautiful! You could probably use the recipe for challah bread in my bread book, though.
Would it be possible to print your recipe without having to print 10 pages?It starts withGluten Free on a Shoestring and ends 10 pages late! Thanks.
There is a “print” icon at the top of the page and at the bottom of the recipe. It only prints the recipe, not the blog post, Kathleen. I’m not sure what you mean by “10 pages.”
