    i have now made the gf bead 2.0 three times and feel it could be very good..however every time there is a big doughy hole in the center and have even overcooked to try to remedy. am using the magic line pans maybe a larger, or 'regular ' bread pan is what was intended? any one have experience with this?

    Hi, I don't know if this will help, but I've tried 2 of the bread recipes- the muesli and the raisin one. Each time they cooked all the way through. I think it might just take awhile to get used to the almond flour, it's pretty different than other baking. First loaf I overbaked slightly, second one was perfect. Also fyi I've noticed across the board (with my oven at least) her recommended baking times seem overlong. I followed the recs for the first loaf and it was drying out, overbaked. I have a gas oven and it tends to run hot, but I have an oven thermometer and I turn the temp down somewhat to compensate- so I did bake it at 350 as recommended. But these small loaves- I think the baking time rec is something like 40-50 minutes which seems very long to me. (I baked the second set of loaves for 25 minutes and one was done, the other needed a couple more minutes as there was a bit more batter in the pan).

    I don't use the magic line pans, I have vintage Ovenex and Bakerex tins, can pick em up in that size for about three bucks in antique/ thrift stores, they work really well (textured tins, seem to bake bread better than smooth tins).

    Ok I'm not sure if this has helped at all. I'd check your oven temp to be sure it's right...xould it be too low? - and in the book she recommended the smaller tins because she said a full size bread tin would leave the center of the loaves doughy, so I'd stay with the small tins.
