Notes
The batter is thick, but not thick enough to work like real bread dough. It needs to be poured into molds. Adding some chia seeds or psyllium husk could possibly make it more like bread dough so modification of the recipe is needed to make this a real bread dough.
A 9x5-inch pan can be used, but the batter will only fill about half the pan which will result in a shorter loaf.
