Gluten & Yeast Free Italian Bread

I actually adapted this recipe from Gluten Free Girl's Gluten Free French Bread Recipe. I am ellergic to yeast and I preferred the bread with brown rice flour. I also make it in a bread loaf pan instead of two small skinny loaves. I LOVE this recipe!!! I also used it to make bread pudding and it was perfect. I hope you all enjoy it too.
