I am very proud of you beebs! You only use vital wheat gluten when you use yeast.The yeast needs gluten to produce rising.I think you will do just as well with almond flour and baking powder with cream of tartar.Bread machines are overated .I mix all my breads by hand.I put one loaf in a breadmachine and it lives in the trash.You have been trained well grasshopper! ;D
