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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
