Have made this twice now and it turned out great both times. It is a very forgiving recipe. The first time I substituted cottage cheese for the ricotta and it turned out great. The second time I used a mixture of flours, including brown rice, sorghum, and garbanzo bean. I used the brown rice sourdough starter. Thanks!

I made this for the holidays and everyone loved it; including me of course. This will be my new bread from now on. It has a bit of a sweet taste! I served it with my French stew for Christmas and it was delicious! I highly recommend trying this.
