Since having acid reflux, I become picky to choose what I'm gonna eat. I'm not a vegetarian yet, but I'm trying to balance my eating habit to eat at least one or two healthy foods in a week. However, I love Asian foods so much, which is quite far from vegetarian foods.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisins Bread Mix is always in my shopping list. I love all Bob's Red Mill products, especially for this bread mix, which is so easy to make and bake. Just combine it with some of your cooking ingredients, and bake it for perfections.

Stevia is listed for this recipe but it isn't necessary. Maple syrup or agave nectar also works well. I did not add so much water into it. I just added water to dissolve dry yeast at first. But if you don't like it, you can also skip that.
