I Made Beer Bread Gluten And Dairy Free

[Cottage-Soul]

Picture of my bread (half gone )

Tweaked a recipe by substituting soda for the beer and gluten free flours for the wheat flour. I thought it was a bit too dense and too sweet, but it wasn't crumbly. My gluten tolerant daughter thought it was really good. If I make it again I'll use about half of the sugar and try another flour instead of the white rice.

Here's the recipe:

3 cups flour (I used 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful gluten-free Bread Mix and 1 cup of white rice flour)

3 teas. baking powder (omit if using self rising flour)

1 teas. salt (omit if using self rising flour)

1/4 cup sugar

1 12 oz can beer (I used lemon lime soda instead)

1/2 cup melted butter (I used clarified butter)

1. Preheat oven to 375

2. Mix dry ingredients and soda

3. Pour into greased loaf pan.

4. Pour melted butter over top.

5. Bake about 55 minutes, remove from pan and let cool at least 15 minutes.

Do not add yeast to this. No kneading required.

If anyone has a better substitiute for the rice flour let me know. I think maybe 3 cups of the Homemade Wonderful bread mix might make a better loaf. I bought it because it already has the Xanthan Gum in it (didn't want to pay $11. for a bag of that! )

If you want to make this with regular flour and beer, there's a recipe on allrecipes.com that is really good (look for the recipe with 5 stars).

Thanks,

I was looking for an easy yeast free bread recipe.

I can't handle sodas, what do you think of using mineral water ? Is the carbonation to give the bread it's lift ?

I have been experimenting lately with flour I make in my coffee bean grinder out of red lentils. It's high in protein and so far isn't overwhelming the flavor, not like garbonza beans ... I've only used 1/4 of cup per recipe so far though.

Amaranth might be a good substite too.

Maybe, it's just me, but once cooked, these taste like any other flour. Only I don't get the glycemic rush I do off rice flour.

Yes, you just need to use any carbonated drink.

Let me know how yours turns out!
