Well it's been too long again since i last wrote! I find it hard to sit down long enough to get a post out these days! I will try to write more often, will be easier now that fall is here. We just got back from Vegas and our wedding a little more than a week ago. It was amazing! But i was very jetlegged, exhausted and dizzy because of the both not fun at all! Today was the first day i felt rested. FINALLY!
One of our wedding presents from our friends Eric and Johanna was a bread maker and Johanna made me a few recipe cards too with gluten free recipes! How sweet and thoughtful. I had told her how much my loafs of bread cost ($7-10) and she took pity on me...and gluten free bread can also be very dry and awful too.
I made my first batch Saturday and was really nervous i would mess it up. I heard that it takes a few tries to get it right. So i set to work with the recipe card she made me called "Gluten free country bread"
3 extra large eggs lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups water
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cups potato starch flour
1/3 cup soy flour (i used quinoa b/c i can't digest soy)
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup instant skim dry milk powder
3 tbsp organic sugar
1 tbsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 instant yeast
1. Place all dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and whisk together.
2. Beat eggs lightly and stir in other wet ingredients
3. Pour wet ingredients into bread pan followed by the dry.
4. Create a hole in the upper corner and pour yeast that's been proofed into it.
5. During the first kneading cycle, use a rubber spatula to scrape ingredients from the sides of the pan.
My bread maker has a specific gluten free cycle. So hopefully if you have one it has one too.
