Gluten-Free Bread

(from greenfood’s recipe box)

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes
Serves 8 people

Ingredients

  • First- whisk together your dry ingredients and set aside:
  • 1 1/2 cups sorghum flour (aka jowar flour)
  • 1 cup tapioca starch or potato starch (not potato flour!)
  • 1/2 cup GF millet flour or GF oat flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1/ 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 packet rapid dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into the bread machine pan first:
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (at 110 to 115ºF)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey- or raw agave nectar to keep it vegan
  • 1/2 teaspoon mild rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 organic free-range eggs, beaten or 1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Replacer whisked with 4 tablespoons warm water till frothy

Directions

  1. Gently pour the mixed dry ingredients on top of the liquid.

  2. t your bread machine program for 1.5 loaf medium crust. I used the gluten-free cycle on the Breadman; if you don’t have a gluten-free cycle, a rapid rise cycle will also work.

  3. Check the dough after a few minutes of kneading- it should be closer to a muffin batter than bread dough, soft, but not cake batter wet. Adjust dry to wet ratio with a tablespoon of flour or warm liquid, as needed. Humidity influences the dough. As does temperature (your bread will rise higher on a hot day).

  4. If you like a crusty loaf (or your past experience results in a gummy center/fallen top) remove the bread from the pan and place it in the oven at 350ºF for an additional 10 minutes- keep an eye on it and don’t let it get too brown. It should be a light golden color.

  5. Cool the loaf before slicing for best results.

  6. Enjoy fresh from the oven- the first day (as with most gluten-free baked goods) has the best texture and taste.

  7. Freeze leftover bread as slices, wrapped in a paper towel and bagged in freezer bags. Thaw to room temperature.

  8. Baking time:1 hour
