I do recommend trying alternative flours if you are gluten sensitive. The first time I made this recipe, I used traditional all purpose flour. Since then, I have experimented with gluten free options. I found that the Bobs 1:1 gluten free flour mix created a loaf that was more dense and moist, almost like a cheesecake. Definitely not the same as the original, but still pretty good! My family liked it, but I am searching for more of an identical dupe. I'm going to keep trying and I will update this post if I find the magic GF flour!
