Challah Bread - Anyone Have A Recipe?

I've looked through recipes in a couple gluten-free cookbooks for a bread recipe that can be molded and twisted like the traditional Challah bread. All the bread recipes I've seen, the dough is too soft to be molded and has to be baked in a pan or muffin tin.

Anyone know of a recipe that will work for this?

Oh, I miss challah....I wonder if taking a regualr soft white gluten-free bread recipe and adding extra egg or egg yolk and extra xanthum gum, would help add stretchiness, with maybe a little extra corn meal for braiding purposes?

A while ago, one of the members, GFdoc posted one...I lost it. Maybe if she sees this she'll be happy to repost?

We were just talking about challah last night as I make a mean gluten filled one (that I can no longer eat!). I'd kill for some good gluten free challah (or as my other half calls it, Cha-hula hula bread (he couldn't remember the name one day)).

Bette Hagman has a recipe for Challah bread in her book, More from the Gluten-Free Gourmet. However, it is a soft dough and must be baked in a bread pan.

I may try it anyway, and perhaps add more flour so it's not so soft. I have no way of knowing if this will completely ruin the finished product. I may try it this week. (Have to do baking very early in the morning because it's sooo hot right now in Kansas.)

OT: we have a Chihuahua dog. Pronounced chee-huuah-huuah. Helps me spell the word.

I finally got around to searching for CFdoc's thread that contains a recipe for challah bread. It, too, needs to be baked in a pan as the dough is soft. From the comments posted, it is very good bread.

gluten-free Doc did post some adjustments to the receipe around the same time she posted the first receipe

something about 6 tablespoons shortening and 5 tablespoons of butter.....is correct, if this makes sense (I lost orig receipe but kept the part showing the corrections....)

Is that instead of the oil or in addition to it? There is no butter or shorteing listed in the original challah recipe or in the corrected one.?????

I also notice in her corrected version she calls for "dough enhancer." Does anybody know what this is and where to find it?

dough enhancer can be purchased from King Arthur Bread Company. Some health food stores also carry it, just a different brand name.

To answer the "what is dough enhancer" question, see this site. Probably more than you wanted to know.

I made Bette Hagman's recipe today and while it's not the doughy challah we all love, it's not bad!!!! I was quite impressed, as this was my first gluten-free bread I made and I can't wait to make a grilled cheese sandwich with the bread.

I'm so glad I found this thread!

I am definitely going to try Bette Hagman's recipe, cause I miss challah so bad.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me. Soon after diagnosis I suffered...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.
