Sorghum Bread (GF, DF & Rice Free)
« on: November 22, 2011, 09:56:51 am »
Name of Recipe: Sorghum Bread (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Rice Free)
Adapted From: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/02/delicious-gluten-free-bread.html
Ingredients:
DRY
250g sorghum
100g hulled millet
100g tapioca starch or potato starch (not potato flour!)
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/ 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 packet rapid dry yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons

WET
250g warm water
45g (3 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey- or raw agave nectar to keep it vegan
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or mild rice or white wine cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
2 eggs (or 1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Replacer whisked with 4 tablespoons warm water till frothy)

Preparation:
Mill sorghum for 1 minute on speed 9 and set aside.  I pour it into my bread tin.
Mill millet for 30 seconds on speed 9.  Add all dry ingredients, including sorghum flour and mix for 15 seconds on speed 4.
Add all wet ingredients and mix for 15 seconds on speed 5-6.
I let my warm dough sit in the TMX bowl for about 15 minutes before pouring into my bread tin.  Try and move it as gently as possible, smoothing the top.  You don't want to bash all the air out of it.  It will be more like cake batter then bread dough.
Place in warm spot until it is almost fully risen and preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Place in the oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes.

Photos:  I will try and get a photo up - there is a photo on the original recipe site - mine is a more wholemeal colour, so I think maybe I'm using a different type of sorghum?

Tips/Hints - there are lots of tips and hints where I found the original recipe.

Other Comments - this is the first gluten free bread I've tried, and I've made it a couple of times.  We're very happy eating it.  It feels and looks like bread, slices like bread, has a slightly nutty, wholemeal flavour.

That will be a big help for you CAthy. Well done.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Help can you tell me where to get sorghum grain to make the Bread. Im in a small town Gayndah 4625,QLD and have looked for the grain on the internet, but must be looking in the wrong places.
so many recipes out there with sorghum in and they sound so nice and healthy. I know sorghum adds protein.

This website seems to have some http://www.wheatfreeworld.com.au/WFW%20shopping%20cart.htm

I happen to be able to get some through my work, but it's not something that we regularly stock.  I'd be very interested in any sorghum recipes that you could share.
