This is a basic recipe for gluten-free bread. Leaving out the gluten of course has a profound effect on the bread so don't expect it to be just like conventional bread. The dough will be more like a batter, and the finished bread will be denser in texture. It would be worth experimenting with this recipe - try adding other non-gluten flours - chestnut, maize, lupin - to vary the texture and flavour of the bread.
