I love the zucchini ciabatta. How is this loaf recipe different? I am afraid it gets too moist in the middle part, is this a valid concern? Thank you for the new recipes!

The loaf is baked at a lower temperature for a much longer time.
It says serving size is 20 - Does the batter go into 2 loaf pans or just one? If it's just one, it seems like 20 servings would be very thin slices.

One loaf will yield 20 servings.
Can i change the almond flour ? My husband became an allergic reaction of almond flour.

If you’re allergic or don’t like nutty flavor of almonds, you can replace it with coconut flour but not in equal amounts. 1 cup of almond flour can be substituted for ⅓ cup of coconut flour. You might also need to add additional eggs.
I made this bread but it was very egg tasting which reminded me of french toast so I made it again and altered the recipe. I left out the sunflower seeds and spices and added vanilla and cinnamon. After baking, I fried some slices in butter and topped with monk fruit sweetener. Came out nice.
