CHEFS TIP: 1. Immediately after removing the bread from the oven, brush a fine layer of a mixture of water and sugar to the top rust, this will add a shie to the bread and prevent the crust to become hard. 2. If you'd like to make a gluten-free version of this bread, just substitute the 3 cups of flour for 1 cup of rice flour, 1 cup of oat flour and one cup of cornflour, works just as well.
