The best GFCF bread ever is made at home!

Well, after cooking GF/CF food for about 10 years now, I have finally discovered the bread maker! I got totally excited by the good results we obtained and this is why I made this video to share. Now, I must say, that in the last 3 weeks, I have spoken to many parents with great enthusiasm about this discovery, and well, nearly all have already got a bread maker and know everything about it. I dont know why I was the last one to try this? But in case there are still a few people out there buying not very good GFCF bread products in Supermarkets, try the bread maker instead. Mine was the cheapest on marker £40, Kenwood, and there is a programme that does GF bread. I initially followed the recipe, but then started to change things, like the flours, spices/herbs, type of oil. I have not yet used onions, olives or fruits in the bread, but I will try this soon. I have included in this video the most basic recipe, except that I added 20% of buckwheat flour to the white GF flour mix (80%). For UK people I used Dove farm GF white flour and buckwheat. I am also showing an easy lunch to prepare with the bread, when the bread is good, one can use it for cooking in all sort of ways. What I show is the easiest and least work-load consuming. If your children like cooking, they should be able to help or do this by themselves.

Recipe: Water 410ml (14oz), Eggs (160g, or 0.352lb, that is 3-4 eggs depending on the size), oil (olive or grape seed oil) 45ml (3 table spoons), Cider Vinegar 5ml (1 tea spoon), White rice flour 330g (0.7lb), tapioca flour 85g (0.2lb), potato flour 85g (0.2lb), Xanthan gum 2 tsp, salt 1 tea spoon (I used 1.3 tsp), sugar 25 g (0.1lb), yeast 1 ½ tsp. In the video I used 400gr of the mix of fours and 100 g of buckwheat. Ingredients are added in that order and thats all.

For the lunch, I did a sort of Banadora (Lebanese dish, shared across most culture), onions, vine tomatoes, garlic, salt pepper, eggs, all mixed together. Put on sliced bread with a salad.

About the ending clip that was the play I was listening to which I quite liked and somehow found it relevant (though not to the GF bread!) ;-)

What could you use instead of yeast and sugar?

[Skymaker69]

@Brighteyes1ful Sorry for the late reply, had problems login. Sugar is only used for the use to get it kick started. You can use baking soda instead of both. For that size of bread at least 1 tea spoon. Might have to play around to get it right or better still check on the Internet for recipe that uses baking soda. Might need 1 tea spoon of vinegar.

I've just been diagnosed with coeliac disease and I feel so helpless here in South Africa where some of the flours and starches I need are not available. Anyway, I want to do the best I can with what we have and invest in a grain mill when I have the money. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us!

@TameEnglishwoman I am sorry for being slow noticing messages! Looks at more traditional forms of cooking, gluten is a fairly recent addition and now it is everywhere, but there are many products that are naturally gluten free, and you can make flours from them, millet, rice, shogun, buckwheat, lentils flours, chick pea, tapioca... you can also make flours from nuts, almost and make bread from these. What is difficult is to make a same diet in GF version, but you can think very differently too.

Hi,

thank you so much for this recipie. This was the first enjoyable GF bread I've ever made!! If you have more GF recipies, post it, please.

[Skymaker69]

Hi, Thanks for this, I am glad it worked out for you too. Yes, I intend to do a series on naturally GF/CF recipes from around the world, India, some North African countries and South America. Great inspirations. How to make Pakoras is next on the list. Stay tuned!

I tried a similar recipe using a bread machine: 1/2 cup goat milk + 1 egg + 2.25 cups chia flour + 1.5 tb stevia, kerrygold butter, 1tsp salt + 0.5 pkt Red Star Active Yeast

Unfortunately, it failed to rise, and looked like rabbit droppings! I'm thinking that all the milk was quickly absorbed by the chia flour powder causing it to be too dry and not mix properly in the bread machine.

Should I double the milk/yeast? If it works, I plan to ultimately add .3 cup mashed purple sweet potato!

@Skymaker69 *** Thank you so much for quelling my fear of "where do I get GF bread that resembles the texture of normal bread"? The rice bread in our stores is like a hard, heavy brick. With a 9 mth expiry date. I was devastated.

Searching the net for clues, I came across your video & you make it all look so easy.

And in an inexpensive bread maker to boot! I have to get one of those, now that I too have to join the GF club.

Thx again for sharing.
