You bet. My gluten-eating husband really likes it - even my first attempt which was sort of a flop because I let it rise too long. He's anxious for me to bake another loaf.

I can't tell you guys - this makes me feel pretty darn good about myself!

Good Grief! Ty is becoming so daring with his school lunches! Last week he strayed from his banana bread/hard boiled egg/pepperoni/cheese lunch that he's been eating every school day for two years to have ham & cheese rolled up in rice paper wrappers, and now he's announced that tomorrow he wants have a jam sandwich! (No PB allowed in his class, it's "discouraged", but not forbidden.)

I had half the loaf pictured on the left in the freezer and it's coming out for sandwiches. He had toast 2x today (we use the Toasta bags). I can't tell you how many times I've tried to make bread and ended up using it for crumbs.

Now the big question...Laurie, do you have a hamburger/hot dog bun recipe something a bit less whole wheaty for buns and a pizza recipe? I'm off to recipezaar to double check.

Thanks Laurie!

I haven't seen this sorghum flour anywhere. Have been to Whole Foods, Central Market (a larger, even nicer Whole Foods), and two large Asian Supermarkets here in Dallas.

I'm wondering if this is a real Flour, or a starch flour. A real flour will have fiber & protein listed on the nutrition label. A starch flour will have neither, only calories.

If someone that has some sorghum flour would be so kind as to look at the label and let me know, then I could figure out what to sustitute it with.

Thanks, lm

For what it's worth, I bought my 6 lb. bag of sorghum for $5 at the local Indian grocer near me. The Indians call it Jowal or Jawal. I googled it and I also asked the grocer - the name is different, but it is the same thing. They also have ghee, of course, but it's not cheap. It's about $8 per pound.

I do have tonnes more that I haven't posted. I don't make buns often, but I made them once (adapting from this recipe), and they turned out nicely, except a little mishapen! I'll dig up the recipe. I should post what I make more often.

Thanks again for all of the encouragement.

Okay. I'm going to trust you guys. Once I get thru my gluten free pantry bread mixes, I'll give it a try.

THANKS. I'm really missing bread. And the two times I've had gluten free bread it's been just awful. Icky icky awful.

Will my tastebuds change and actually start to LIKE it??? LOL :D

Darn it, I just sold my breadmaker and resigned to the ready-made stuff. I just got tired of the mess. :(

Re: Sourghum search

I googled it and I also asked the grocer - the name is different, but it is the same thing. They also have ghee, of course, but it's not cheap. It's about $8 per pound.

Thank you kolka for the info. I tried calling a few Indian grocery stores here in the Dallas area, and they had no idea what I was talking about. One even told me "jawal" was barley, but I googled it like you did and it's sourghum. There is a slight language problem impeding communication. I'll just have to visit some of these places in person.

Yesterday, I found a Twin Valley Mills LLC via google search. Open Original Shared Link. Here's some info from the website.

"Located in the heart of Nebraska farm country, Twin Valley Mills is a small mill owned and operated by three grain sorghum producers who take pride in the quality product they grow. They plant only the highest quality food grade sorghums for milling into nutritious grain sorghum flour. The milling process uses the finest mesh, assuring consumers of a silky smooth flour. They control their product from the time the grain sorghum seed is planted until the finished flour is packaged and shipped to consumers.

This attention and care assures consumers of the highest quality grain sorghum flour available. For consumer protection, Twin Valley Mills is USDA inspected and licensed.

Who are these dedicated grain sorghum producers? Father and son, Hubert and Gerald Simonsen, joined with fellow farmer James Vorderstrasse to develop a product that would utilize the grain sorghum they grow."

I ordered four 2.5# containers for $12.50, + shipping. Here's info about that:

"Thank you for your interest. We sell sorghum flour in 2.5# containers for $3.50, and 25# buckets for $27.50 plus freight. We are not set up for credit cards yet so we will send an invoice with the shipment. We ship UPS. If you e-mail your address and what you want to order we can let you know how much the shipping would be. We just pass on what UPS charges, and there are no other handling fees.

Due to the price of shipping on a small order, we have decided to sell 4 small containers at a case price of $12.50. This is a savings of $1.50, and in most cases that is all the extra 7.5 pounds adds to the shipping."

Kind of struck me as interesting. We'll see what happens next. Best regards, lm

Larry do you not have a Whole Foods in your area or do they not carry sorghum flour? My son gets it for me at Whole Foods in Springfield, Mo., and they also have it at Nature's Way in Mountain Home AR (near me). I guess I thought they carried it about everywhere.

No, can you believe it? I tried Whole Foods and Central Market, which is even larger and nicer. They have white & brown rice flour in bulk. Also, Bob's Red Mill stuff in some varieties. No sourghum, no garfava (I did get garbanza), no quinoa, no romano bean flour. You would think that with 5-7 million people in the Dallas/Fort Worth "metromess", they could do better than that!

I've just received two cookbooks via amazon .com, and practically everything requires these flours. Plus I'm hoping for improvements on what I've been making with mostly rice flours & starches. I'm ready and willing to do whatever it takes to get me closer to my beloved "bread"! No sacrilege intended, but that is almost a holy word now (just kidding ha,ha).

best regards, lm

Sheesh.

I can't tell you guys - this makes me feel pretty darn good about myself!

You should, even *I* am goign to try to bake it! today, maybe!! :rolleyes:

I've hesitated, though, because I have really been reacting to flax seeds lately. I don't think I can eat them at all, in fact. so, I'm wondering if I"ll react to them in ground form - guess I won't know until I try. I know some of you have said you've substituted flours, but I am assuming you still kept the flax meal?

I've kept the flax meal. Maybe you could make it with and then without to see what the difference is, both to how you react and how it tastes.

Holy cannoli! This might even be weight watchers friendly!!!

This bread is Great. One question though--am I letting it rise too long?? It practically doubles in size as it bakes (and I only let it rise to the top of the pan), then flops over a bit at the top. Still delicious, but a little challenging to slice. :huh:

As for the flax seed--I'm wondering if substituting rice bran might work? They look very similar and I often grab the wrong one out of my freezer if I'm not carful. :rolleyes:

Me too. I was VERY CAREFUL on the second loaf I baked to not let it get above the pan, but again it just poofed up quickly in the oven. I turned the loaf on its side immediately after taking it out of the oven and that helped to keep it from imploding, but it still was sunk in on one side.

I'd sure like to know what to do about this, also.

Hi! THANK YOU for this recipe-we tried it and it was great! I could pick up the slice of bread and flop it around without it disintegrating.

What I did since it rose so fast-I placed a flat cookie sheet over the 9x5 pan while it rose and kept a good eye on it. This prevents it from overflowing the edges, and I didn't have any problem slicing it after it was baked.

2Boys4Me Enthusiast

Mine didn't rise fast at all. In fact, today I used the full 80 minutes AND I used quick rise yeast. :huh:

I wonder if it's because my pan is a different shape. It has the same volume (roughly) as a 9x5 pan, but it's 11x4.

I warmed the milk first, as a previous poster had...I may have murdered the yeast. :ph34r:

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
