#gluten free bread

[glutenfreeandme]

Ok @consolecadet heres's an un-sourdough-ed sour loaf. I've only tried this once and your mileage may vary, but it came out pretty well and I'll probably make it again.

- 400g water

- 2 1/4 tsp yeast (one packet)

- pinch of sugar

- 100g tapioca starch

- 100g potato starch

- 100g brown rice flour

- 60g sorghum flour

- 40g millet flour (or teff or buckwheat, really whatever)

- 17g psyllium husk powder

- 10g salt

- 1 tbsp each apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and honey

Heat your water up to ~105F and whisk in the yeast and pinch of sugar. Allow to sit until foamy (5-10 min).

Meanwhile, mix all dry ingredients together. Once the yeast is active, add to dry ingredients along with the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Mix until fully combined and thickened. Give it a couple kneads for good measure, then cover with seran wrap and allow to rest on the counter ~2hrs. Shape into a boule and place in banneton. Allow to rise in the fridge overnight.

Preheat oven + Dutch oven to 500F. Once preheated, transfer loaf to parchment paper and score. Bake 15 min with the lid on, remove lid and bake 30 min more at 450F. Let cool!

Low-FODMAP Gluten-Free Pull-Apart Pizza Bread

I was so dubious of this recipe when I started it. I have had uneven luck with gluten-free flours (unless they're just being used as a binding agent). Also, this recipe calls for a yeasted dough, which I've never tried before with gluten-free flour.

Reader, it was fcuking amazing. Legit, I'll be making this again when I'm done with this asinine diet. To the recipe:

Low-FODMAP Gluten-Free Pull-Apart Pizza Bread

1 c warm water, divided

4 tsp active dry yeast

1/4 c sugar

3 c Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Baking Flour

1 tbsp + 2 tsp xanthan gum

2 tsp baking powder

1 3/4 tsp salt

4 eggs

1/4 c olive oil

4 tbsp Italian seasoning

2 c grated Parmesan

3 (ish) c grated mozzarella

1 lb chorizo, crumbled and browned

1/2 c chopped fresh basil

cooking spray

Place 3/4 c warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes or until bubbly.

Meanwhile, in a stand mixer, combine flour, xantan gum, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine. When the yeast mixture is ready, add that, eggs, and oil to the flour mixture. Blend on medium speed using the dough hook.

Add water as needed, 1 tbsp at a time, to achieve a sticky but touchable dough. I was never able to get the dough to keep from sticking to my fingers, but forged ahead anyway. Knead in the mixer for 5 minutes. Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix the Parmesan and Italian seasoning. Scoop 1/3 of the dough into little marble sized balls and roll in the Parmesan mixture. I had the best luck with rolling the dough out into a tube, rolling that in the cheese mix, and then pinching off tbsp sized balls.

Evenly distribute into the prepared pan, then 1/3 of the cooked chorizo, then 1/3 of the basil, then 1/3 of the mozzarella. Keep layering for three layers, ending with cheese. If there is any leftover Parmesan mix, sprinkle this evenly on the top.

Preheat oven to 350F. Let the filled pan sit on the oven while it heats for 20-30 minutes. Place the Bundt pan on a rimmed baking sheet (it is going to overflow everywhere otherwise) and bake for 30-40 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and turn out on a platter.

Couple few notes: I just went ahead and used chorizo. even though I know it has garlic in it, because I'm of the opinion that it's a low-FODMAP diet, not a no-FODMAP diet. You could also use pork sausage tarted up with a bit of Italian seasoning and a little red pepper flake.

Which brings me to the next thing: I've been able to source an Italian seasoning mix that doesn't have either onions or garlic, but if you can't find such a thing, use a mix of oregano, thyme, and marjoram in whatever ratio pleases you. This can go in both the Parmesan mix and the pork sausage. I also used a lot of fresh basil because my cousin gave me a stupid amount recently, but that's not required or anything. You could just use some dried basil in the Italian mix instead and no one would be harmed.

You guys, this was so good. Breaking up the gluten-free dough into discrete balls made the tendency of gluten-free dough to lack coherence a non-issue. The oil from the chorizo and the mozzarella kept the dough from being too crumbly or dry. (For real though, use a pan under the Bundt pan, or you'll have a mess.) I'm going to make this again for sure.

Evergreen disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

HEHE!! my mom found some gluten free garlic bread recently and it’s good! the crust is a bit thick and has an odd taste, but its bread :]. dunno how they do it without the wheat. i found a really good brand—nature’s own i think? and another with a blue and yellow color scheme. before then i dealt with all the cheap gf bread crumbling in my hands like that on gif :gone:, which was pain. but!! now i found a good brand and can make sandwiches :]. for dinner along with gf pizza, i had a nutella + peanut butter sandwich on toasted bread with (barely ripe) banNAnAs inbetween!! it was great but messy. now im hungry for oatmeal with raisins and bananas like how my grandma makes it. she adds milk too?? i think i tried that once or twice in minnesota. yum.

[abbeysabode]

Ya gotta love it.

i made a gluten free focaccia/flat bread type thing using a mix from my current favorite gf bread maker* (young kobras, they're based out of sf so shipping's not too bad in california at least) and you know, it's not half bad at all?!?

i did add salt and some herbes de provence for flavor (their gf bread is good but it def could use a little more seasoning imho) and then didn't feel like making full on pizza so just kind of went the flat bread route with what i have (it's the end of the grocery cycle, so it's just basil/parsley, then some parm + goat cheese. probably pair it with some kale/balsamic vinegar later, but honestly it could go with lots of things).

the mix came with all the dry ingredients you need- it came with a little yeast pack which was amazingly still good and rose decently as you can see (i think i bought the mix a few months ago, at least 4). it also didn't take too long (45 min to rise, then 25 min in the oven). One mix packet makes one pizza/flatbread

i don't think it'll ever make my favorite sort of pizza (which is ny style, really thin and foldable)- it was def harder to roll out thin without breaking (i probably could have rolled it out a little more) but honestly decent! esp given that gf pizza recipes can be a lot of work for less than stellar results, this is a decent low effort alternative.

(i'm also low on olive oil and used "earth balance" in the batter, which seems to have worked fine. i'm sure olive oil would have been better, but i wanted to use what i had left on the top)

[i normally don't use mixes outside some of the pre-made flour blends like better batter's etc, and usually go about working on recipes the hard way so this was a nice surprise] *if you just want to try their bread, i really like their fake "rye", the seeded buckwheat and the regular "plain" sourdough flavors. i haven't tried the others tbf (they feel less versatile tho).

Gluten free bread I am begging for you to be better.

And less expensive. Please.

[clatterbane]

Plotting that bread for later. Current plan: more pseudo-rye, this time of a less sweet type and using the dill seed instead of caraway. Haven't had anything like dill rye since before I left the US, and I really used to love whatever commercial stuff Kroger's regularly carried.

Also planning on using my judgment, with a couple of other known-good recipes for reference. Much more confident in my ability to wing it with bread by now than GF sweet baking. 🫤 But, we'll just have to see how it goes. And of course I'm going to get tiresome blogging about it along the way!

Currently waiting for a home frozen pan of lasagna to finish baking for supper and turning out some salad to go with it, while idly planning my attack. Because that's just the kind of nerd I am.

Oat and carrot breakfast bun (GF)

I found this really tasty bun recipe in a book by Desirèe Andersen and made some adaptations. They are great for breakfast, would hold well for lunch, or go great with soup.

Run in mixer until fairly smooth: 8 dl quick oats 400 gr cottage cheese 6 eggs 2 large carrots

Add and run until just mixed: 2 dl almond flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder

Shape with wet hands and bake in the oven at 220C for 10-15 minutes. These makes for about 16 small buns.

I've found several promising recipes on breadit (of all places) and have been experimenting with those lately. This one is an enriched sourdough made with xanthan gum and no psyllium husk. Overall pretty good! Not very chewy though?

Making Thermomix bread without a Thermomix

My coworker told me about making this gluten-free health bread that actually tasted good in the Thermomix, and -- despite not having a Thermomix -- I wanted to try it. I've tried to make a few similar breads, but they were pretty dry and flavorless, and ended up languishing at the bottom of my freezer, uneaten.

The recipe is called "Buckwheat, Almond and Seed bread" and involves processing ingredients together to make a dough, which is then baked in a loaf pan. I used my food processor, which is less powerful than a Thermomix. Here are the steps I followed:

I soaked the buckwheat groats, blanched almonds, and 120g pumpkin seeds overnight in filtered water. Then I drained them before starting (I'd also recommend rinsing off the goo).

I processed the groats, then added the almonds and 120g pumpkin seeds and processed again.

I added the sunflower seeds, whole flaxseeds, chia seeds, ground psyllium husks, dried thyme, salt, water, and remaining pumpkin seeds and processed it again.

I greased the loaf pan and put the dough in, pushing it down and smoothing the top.

I baked the bread at 350 F for 50 minutes.

I let the bread cool a bit before taking it out, then let it cool some more before slicing it.

I really liked the result. It's not dry and it doesn't fall apart. It has a nice nutty flavor and texture. I've mostly been eating it with Trader Joe's pumpkin butter, but I've also broken it up in a salad and dipped it in stew.

A Beginner Baker’s Guide to Gluten

Gluten gets a lot of negative attention these days thanks to the dieting industry. Many influencers claim that by eliminating gluten from the foods you eat, you can boost your energy levels and maintain a healthy weight.

But is gluten really that bad? How does gluten actually affect you? And should you remove it from your baking?

Let’s take a closer look at gluten to answer some of the most commonly asked questions by beginning bakers.

What Is Gluten?

Gluten is a catch-all term for storage proteins found in certain grains, specifically wheat, rye, barley, and triticale. These naturally occurring proteins like to stick together, creating a structural network similar to glue. In baking, gluten gives dough its stretchy, elastic texture, and it traps gasses and moisture to give bread its soft, distinctive chew.

What Is Vital Wheat Gluten?

If you’ve browsed some of my recipes, you may have noticed that a few recipes call for high-protein bread flour or a combination of vital wheat gluten and all-purpose flour.

Vital wheat gluten is a powdered form of gluten that many bakers use as an additive to increase flour’s protein content. If you’re making an artisan-style sourdough loaf, the extra gluten can improve your dough’s stability and structure, making it easier to shape.

Is Gluten Bad for You?

The human body uses enzymes to break down consumed proteins such as gluten, though it doesn’t break down gluten completely. For some people, the undigested gluten triggers an autoimmune response when it reaches the small intestine, resulting in unpleasant symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, headaches, and even rashes.

However, for the rest of us, undigested gluten poses no risk, and gluten itself is a reliable source of protein and fiber. Furthermore, going gluten-free does not guarantee any weight loss benefits on its own. Many gluten-free processed foods rely on starches to hold and stabilize food as a substitute for gluten. These starches can actually raise blood sugar levels and cause weight gain rather than being the advertised cure-all.
