I looked more closely at my rice flour - it's sweet rice flour, not brown rice. So, do you think this would make a difference?

Hmm. I'm not an experienced enough baker to answer that, but I do know they have different properties. I use sweet rice flour for thickening gravy, etc. I do know a lady who uses sweet rice flour in lieu of any white/brown rice flours, and she's happy with the results.

I'd wait for more replies unless you're willing to experiment.

Re: the question of flours, for my bread (2 so far, first one pictured in my avatar) I used:

1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour which consisted of: 1/2 cup brown rice flour, 1/2 cup sorghum flour and 1/4 cup tapioca starch. Then the rest as indicated in the recipe. (1/4 cup garfava flour, 1/2 cup potato starch, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup flaxmeal)

So I used this:

1/4 cup garfava flour

1/2 cup potato starch

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup flaxmeal

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup sorghum flour

1/4 cup tapioca starch

That is the recipe I will continue to use.

Linda, I'm trying your version next time. That's one beautiful loaf of bread. You have the peaked roof on yours! Do you actually use two egg whites, or powdered egg whites? lm

Ok. That sounds fine, in theory, but how does the bread get kneaded the second time if you've pulled out the paddle.....that does the kneading? I can see trying to pull it out right before it goes to bake cycle but not while it's kneading...unless it doesn't matter with un-glutened bread? I might be still thinking in gluten terms.

That is why it is pulled out... To avoid the second knead. If that makes sense. It doesn't "KNEAD" it.

HA!

I second the sweet rice flour not to be used - however, I haven't tried it. From what I have read over and over, that is one that is not interchangeable in recipes. Won't hurt to try, I guess!

I used real egg whites. Separated 'em myself. No bits of shell in there either. :P

:D You all absolutely have to try this bread. I cannot speak highly enough about its texture, taste, and ease of making it. It has that soft texture that is so familiar. Not crumbly at all!

We served it to our guests over Christmas and we all loved it. It's better fresh than after a couple of days but you don't have to toast it, you don't have to freeze it. It's simply delicious.

So thank you Laurie for this wonderful recipe. I really hope more people will try it and love it as much as we do!

I added my review to glutenfreegirl's.

Can you tell me what one loaf costs? Trying to figure out if it is worth purchasing all the different ingrediants.

I read in Bette Hagman....spelling not sure.... gluten free recipe book that sweet rice is good for brownies, cookies. Brown rice can be a sub for white, but sweet rice can't. It is used for more of a sticky treat.

I think I originally bought the sweet rice flour because I read somewhere (who knows now, I've checked out so many G.F. cookbooks from the library) that sweet rice flour is less gritty than the brown rice. I'm really not fond of gritty baked goods. Anyway, I think I need to give brown rice flour a try.

Thanks for the tip.

My next bread-baking day is Friday.... drum roll..... "will she make a perfect loaf??"

Tune in next time to see! :D

I baked a loaf of this 2 days ago-it is awesome! I have been prepping my kids for going gluten-free in February (only my husband has tested positive for Celiac but some of the kids have things that I believe may be helped by a gluten-free diet) and my oldest daughter who hasn't been very happy about going gluten-free said if I would make this bread then she would have no problem eating gluten-free. Aside from all the measuring, this was easy to make and turnd out wonderful. I can't believe the texture-just like regular bread! I am going to try to make dinner rolls out of this recipe this weekend. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Ok, so you have all talked me into it. I went and got a bread machine tonight. HELP?!?! lol I saw the recipe, and the suggestions of other things to use as ingredients, instructions on using certain settings.etc. So if anyone else has any other suggestions before I dive into trying this thing out, PLEASE let me know! Thanks!

P.S. I assume the bread machine can be used for other baking ? loaves of other types of bread and such?

Well, I've never used a bread machine and just make the recipe in the oven in a pan.

If it were me, I'd return the bread machine and buy a good quality stand mixer instead - very useful in most baking (cheesecakes, bagels, cookies, cakes... AND bread).

But that's one person's opinion! I'm sure there are many bread machine afficionados out there who might beg to differ!

Help!

The original recipe evidently expired off the visible posts.

Can someone put it in here again, I got the flour discussion and measures, but nothing about the yeast or wet ingredients or instructions.

Iwant to bake with my grand girls tomorrow and this bread sounds lovely to make. I'm going to try the toll house cookie recipe too! Wow, what a find this site was. Thanks so much to everyone who shares.

Hi -

I made excellent rolls/buns with this recipe. I used an ice cream scoop with a spring release so that I could get a good shape and consistant size. Makes a great sandwich!!!

Enjoy.

I made this this morning and it was SO good. Great texture. It was a tad bit underbaked in the middle, though, so I'll bake it for 5 minutes longer next time.

Only problem: It didn't rise at all before I baked it. Maybe half an inch. I let it rise for a little over 80 minutes and nothing.

Two things that could have contributed to that: I used cold milk (oops) AND I used quick-acting yeast. I'll try room temp milk and regular yeast next time.

Has anyone made this and had it rise enough to make normal sandwich size slices? Mine were more like banana bread slices because it didn't rise. It still tasted really good, though, and had a fantastic moist, non crumbly texture.

I used 2boys4me's flour blend for the 1-1/4 cups gluten-free blend - 1/2 c. potato starch, 1/2 c. brown rice flour, 1/4 c. tapioca starch. I'll be using it again.

Thank you SO much, Laurie!

It's winter here and my kitchen is rather cool. I tried putting the dough in a "cold"oven, but it just wasn't warm enough. I then placed a pan of hot tap water in the over with the dough, that warmed it up enough to allow the yeast to do it's thing. Yeast prefers to be warm. I believe the ideal dough-rising temp is around 80F. (too hot and you'll kill the yeasties)

I bet you have the answer to my non-rising dough! I will try the hot tap water in a pan in the oven next time I make it! Thanks!!!

How did you do this? The dough is so soft.

The dough is soft and a little firm on the outside after cooked. I rub Crisco on them and wrap them in a towel after they come out of the oven to keep them soft. This is what I did. Mix together flours, starches and flax meal. Scoop out one cup of mixture. The recipe calls for 4 cups. Add creamer, xanthan gum, sugar, salt and yeast. Blend well and set aside. Combine wet ingredients in a seperate bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet and beat for 5 minutes. With oiled hands dievide dough into 12 sections. Shape into bagels and place on a greased baking sheet. Let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400* and bring 3" of water in a large skillet with 1 tsp sugar and salt to a slow boil. Add bagels to water and boil 30 seconds on each side. Place on a seperate greased and cornmealed cookie sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes, till lightly browned. Enjoy!

Bagels

2 1/2 cup gluten free flour

1/2 cup quinoa flour

1 cup potato starch

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup flax meal

1/3 cup non-dairy creamer or milk powder

1 tbsp xanthan gum

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp salt

2 tbsp yeast

1 tsp vinegar

3 tbsp oil

2 tbsp Ener-G egg replacer + 4 tbsp warm water Or 2 eggs

Today was baking day. I went out and found some brown rice flour and used that for the 1-1/4 cups flour and followed the recipe exactly. I made TWO loaves, because I goofed with the first one.

loaf 1.... I was measuring for two different baked goods at the same time (bad idea, as it turned out) and, instead of 2tsp of yeast, I put in only one. It did rise a bit (about double, which isn't much, but, still, it's some) so I went ahead and baked it. Actually this wasn't all that bad. Had less of a yeast flavor/smell, was short and squatty, and was a bid more dense. Actually, I think this has possiblities of being an immitation rye bread, if one put in some caraway seeds. :)

loaf 2... This one had the full amount of yeast in it but I did use about 1/8 cup less water. it raised well but, AGAIN, after cooling slightly from the oven it FELL. I truly don't know what else to do. :( Maybe next time I may try reducing the yeast by 1/4 tsp.

I'm not going to give up. :blink:

tune in Next Friday....

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!
