I make this bread all the time for my highly allergic and intolerant 4 year old.  I love it!  So easy and it freezes so well.  He is very proud to go to Daycare on Sandwich day and have the same foods as the other children  :)

I have used potato starch, and it seems to work - not sure if it's got preservatives though...

I use a variation of this recipe to make my gf pizza dough (http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2011/01/gluten-free-pizza-base.html) - yummy and crispy!  :)

Jo could I make this in advance? I have a last minute party guest who is ceoliac and I want to make sure she has lunch! If I can do it today that would be great if not how soon before hand can I do it?

Thanks, Kerryn

Post by: medusa on February 02, 2011, 04:55:11 am
where do you get things like

millet or quinoa
white glutinous rice
Xanthan gum or Guar gum
arrowroot

Where are these things in woollies lol, do I need to find a health food shop?  Is is a heavy bread?

Thanks
Title: Re: Gluten Free Bread - Cyndi O'Meara

I found all expect the Xanthan gum or Guar gum at Coles

Xanthan gum or Guar gum at the health food shop

Kerryn, you can make the pizza bases ahead & prebake them, then re-warm them in the oven (with toppings if using) when ready.

ahoney I have found some organic tapioca flour that is preservative and additive free.  My local wholefood store stocks it The brand is lotus and it comes in 500gm packs and I pay about $5 for it.  I sometimes use this in custard if I am out of cornflour.  Hope this helps.

Post by: ahoney on March 15, 2011, 07:55:56 am
thanks, my health food shop stocks the non-organic one with the preservative in it, so hopefully they can get the organic one for me!

Hi Beverlily, welcome to the forum with your first posting.  Why not pop over here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=33.0) and tell us a bit more about yourself.

Wondering if this (http://www.fourleafmilling.com.au/products.php?id=59) information is helpful to you.  I don't know whether the end product would be the same though.  Others may have some ideas for you.
Title: Re: Gluten Free Bread - Cyndi O'Meara
Post by: Beverlily on September 12, 2011, 01:24:35 am
Thank you judydawn for this suggestion. I will give it a try and let you know of the results.

I have tried the 'introduce myself' page by clicking the spot, but couldn't see how to do so. I must be missing something very basic. I've even clicked the 'help' section but I can't find out how to introduce myself. ??? Might have to try again later when I can concentrate better (my 4yr old granddaughter is with me today).  :-\

Thanks again for your help.  :)

Beverlily, go to the Welcome page, click on 'new topic'.  Fill in the subject heading then in the box below tell us your story then click on 'Post'.  I know what it is like trying to work things out on a computer with youngsters around - not easy  ;D ;D

You can use buckwheat instead of the chickpeas.  :)

Oh dear! What did I do? I very carefully measured the ingredients, but I ended up with a batter, not a dough.  Wiil have to try again, but with less water next time.
Anyone else have this problem?
Title: Re: Gluten Free Bread - Cyndi O'Meara
Post by: cecilia on October 04, 2011, 05:17:18 am
Not a problem - that's how it is.  Pity the recipe doesn't warn people.
Title: Re: Gluten Free Bread - Cyndi O'Meara
Post by: Beverlily on October 13, 2011, 02:43:15 am
Thanks for the tip re buckwheat flour, I was intending to try that. I've made the bread several times now using amaranth flour and that works too.  ;D

I've made many different GF breads before I bought the TM and they have all been of a 'batter-like' consistency. This recipe is by far the best I've tried and the tastiest. It doesn't taste like cake mixture as some of them do. I love chia seeds and so add them to the mix for that extra boost of fibre and Omega 3. Yum!!   ;)

Now I'm trying the mayonnaise.......  :-\

I attended a sourdough gluten free workshoop last week and most of the doughs made with buckewheat, rice flour  and sorghum flour were very batter like. I hadn't eaten buckwheat flour before and it is certainly a different taste.

Has anyone made this recipe into Rolls? I was going to try to make it. I saw another post about GF rolls but she said it was a bit crumbly. Not sure how this one would go. Any ideas?
Title: Re: Gluten Free Bread - Cyndi O'Meara
Post by: mkr on February 09, 2012, 07:43:08 am
You could pour the mixture into muffin tins to make something of a similar size to a roll. The mixture is like cake batter, so can't be shaped like a regular bread dough.

I am fairly new to the forum too.

This is the only bread we use now. My nearly 4 yo son is gluten free. Is there a way to do this recipe without the egg? I know Jo from Quirky Cooking uses it without the eggs sometimes. Would the Chia eggs work? I haven't tried that yet.

I am finding with gluten free cooking that you replace the gluten in recipes and introduce eggs. We don't generally use eggs.

We have just started using Chia, too. I love it and use it with the sunflower and sesame seeds in the seed mixture. I also sprinkle a mixture of the 3 seeds on top of the bread. It is yummo  :) :)

It is nice cold or toasted but it generally gets eaten fresh from the oven with Jo's (Quirky Cooking) Strawberry Jam, a winner in our home. The jam is also posted on the forum somewhere  :)

I've tried this several times now with my Thermochef - first couple of times it was terrible! Lol

It was gritty, terrible texture and my daughter did not like it!

I tweaked it for the third one to accommodate for the TC, I'm about to do my fourth one now, so I'll do a write up if it works again of how I did it differently!
