New rule. You're not allowed to badge comments anymore until you've baked a loaf.

Wait... is that a euphemism?

I, too, read that as "pinched a loaf".

Google gives a nice diagram for that phrase. TIL what pinch a loaf means... and TMI Google, TMI...

Sadly the wife is gluten free, so there will be no bread-baking in my house. :(

Well if you try gluten free yeast bread, the best tasting results I've had was about 1 cup rolled oats to 3 cups of some gluten free mix that was mostly rice flour and had thickening gums in it. First cook the oatmeal like normal, then add the flour yeast and salt. Add a little more water to get to play-doh consistency - it's never going to be stretchy like wheat dough. Let it rise, sprinkle some more oats on top, and bake.

The oats help it taste more bready and help the crust brown.
