The dish our gluten-free family misses the most, like the majority of celiac patients, is white bread. After many trial and error, I finally succeeded in making bread that tastes like real wheat bread.

Reviews
Very nice compliment to fruitcake as well as plum pudding cake. I usually make a double recipe.
Delicious! Walnut in place of pecans also taste great, as do candied cherries instead of candied citron. I thought I’d just try this out this Christmas; this may become a must-have for every Christmas!
I think it’s a wonderful Christmas pudding. My friends loved it so much!
An excellent base recipe for an authentic tasting plum pudding. I used brown sugar instead of white and moistened the mix with molassas and Guinness stout.
