Hi there, Lisa! The 1 1/2-pound setting should be suitable for this bread, you're welcome to give it a try using the 2-pound setting if you'd like though. Most often when bread turns out dense it's because a tad too much flour snuck its way into the mixing bowl — we recommend either using a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients or using the fluff and sprinkle technique for measuring flour in volume. Another reason this might happen is if the loaf is over-proofed, if your machine doesn't have a gluten-free setting we recommend using or creating a homemade cycle with a 15 minute preheat, 30 minute knead, 65 minute rise, and then baking the loaf for 70 minutes. We hope this helps for future baking adventures!
