Notes

*Instead of the Allulose/Swerve combo, you can use 2/3-3/4 cup of your preferred sugar substitute.  I always taste a bit of the batter for sweetness.  I tend to add less at the start and add a tablespoon more if needed.

*Xanthan gum helps with texture but you can leave it out if you don't have any.  No specialty store needed, you can buy a small tin in the grocery store.  It keeps a long time in the pantry.

*Check on your bread about halfway through baking.  If it seems to be browning too quickly, lightly cover the top with a piece of aluminum foil.

*The bread is done when there aren't any large crumbs on a toothpick.  It should be just about clean.

*Cooling is important.  If you slice the bread too soon and it may crumble apart.
