Special Diets / Re: Cyndi's bread from Gluten Free Cookbook

Well mine was nowhere near that thick, both times I made it.  Should I try it with less water?

So you mean it's firm enough to shape into rolls?  Mine was nowhere near that texture.  I had to pour it into the bread pan.

I'm a coeliac too - I'm looking forward to trying lots of recipes from the gluten free cookbook.

Special Diets / Cyndi's bread from Gluten Free Cookbook
« on: May 13, 2009, 02:23:52 am »
I have just had my second attempt at making Cyndi's bread and both times it has turned out like a heavy brick.  It won't cook through even after an hour in the oven. This morning I let it rise for an hour before putting it in the oven.  Can anyone help me with what I might be doing wrong??  Am I cooking it at the right temperature - 180 degrees? Is the mix supposed to be pretty runny (as opposed to a 'normal' bread dough)?  Is tapioca starch the same as arrowroot flour?
Thanks
Niki

Hi Ayla; I'm in Brisbane too. I just got my "thermie" last week and I'm excited, too.  I can't stop cooking.  Hope you're still enjoying it.

No, I meant a lady on EB with the nickname "Chat" - she lives in Canberra, too.

I'm making Cyndi's bread.  Last time I made it, it was like a brick.  I've made it again this morning and I've let it rise for longer and I'm just putting it in the oven now.  Fingers crossed!!

Thanks for the welcome!  I'm making the GF bread again this morning.  If it doesn't turn out this time, my demonstrator said she'll come over and make it with me.

Karen, were/are you friends with a "Chatty" lady on EB?  I used to be a regular a couple of years ago and I recognise your nickname.

Hi Everyone

I'm Niki and I live in Brisbane Bayside, and I am addicted to my "Thermie", or as I also call him, "Thermoman". 

I've had him for nearly a week now; and I have made so many things.  Everything has turned out brilliantly except my gluten free bread which would have killed someone, had I aimed it at their head.

I'm a coeliac, but I'm the only one in my family, so I still cook gluteny things for my husband and kids.  Tonight my husband and I are making pizzas and vegemite scrolls, from one batch of pizza dough.  I am impressed with how easy it was to make the pizza dough. 

I am really into cooking and making things from scratch; I like to avoid preservatives and other additives where possible.  My other passion is being thrifty; so now I am thrilled that I can mill my own gluten free flour as it was costing me a fortune.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone!!
