MEEEE TOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Damn Italians and their Easter bread! (lol - that is how I got my hips and thighs - lol!)

PLEASE post the challah recipe on here if you can! I will slap some almond-flavored icing and colored coconut on it and see if it works!

They are copywrited recipies from a book that is still being sold in bookstores so I'm not comfortable posting them. Maybe there's some other way ? Also your local library might have them. I've found several gluten-free cookbooks at mine.

Thanks for your efforts. I have just found a recipe that I will try to convert to gluten-free Flour., using a bread machine. Will share if it works. Until then, anyone else got a thought? I did make a great cherry cobbler last nite, and Wedding Soup.

Trying again to post this easter bread recipe. What a treat for husband to have toasted easter bread with lots of butter this a.m. Am satified that this recipe works. To find it , go to recipezaar.co and type in88299 in search box. then make the changes I am adding here. The basic recipe is just the same as my mother -in-law's except hers made six loaves instead of one. The bread is the courser, denser rustic style, not the "americanized version " that is now popular. It smells, looks and taste like the real thing. The only problem I had was that I baked it too long. Will correct next time.

Changes to the recipe.

Add juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 orange

zest of 1/2 lemon

zest of whole orange

1 tab/ pure anise flavoring

remove gluten (no brainer)

add 2.5 tsp of xanthum gum

increase yeast to 2 tsp.

I mixed the flavoring and zest in the liquids

I also melted the butter. (can you add it not melted in a bread machine?)

Flour mix

1cup brown rice flour

1 cup of white rice flour

1/2 cup of sweet rice flour

1/4 cup of Pot starch

1/4 Corn starch

1/ 4 cuo Tapi flour

1/4 cup of sorghum Flour

feel free to tinker with this. I would appreciate your critique. Am always willing to learn from others.

Hope you enjoy this and Happy Holidays to all

Thanks to miisy's Mom for the tech support.

In Europe there is an Italian company called Schar that makes really good gluten-free products.

You can find a recipe from their site for an Italian Easter Cake:

Open Original Shared Link

I have not tried this recipe but I looked on the box of "Mix C" and the ingredients are:

Corn Starch, Corn Flour, thickerner, locust bean gum - I was suprised of the ingredients b/c the mix is very light and fluffy. I am not sure what the measurments are but I cant see why you could not substitute a Pamelas Mix or one of your favorites.

I use this mix alot for Crepes that turn out fantastic!!!

Good Luck

It's been a tradition in my family for years! I wish I could find a recipe or a bakery that makes it.

If you don't find a good recipe, you can try to make mine, if you want to braid the bread use this:

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/84873-simonas-braided-challah/page__st__75__gopid__785727#entry785727

Please read all tread! Specially my last post.

For the Italian bread cut the recipe in half, or make two at once, if you can (it will bake better).

I will make it today for Easter.

Or

This:

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/85650-gluten-free-sandwich-bread/ , if you prefer softer bread. You can't braid with this dough, but you can use round pan with the hall in middle (like for bundt cake). Add 1 1/2 Tbsp. of sugar.

Bake them for 60-65 minutes, otherwise they will sink.

ok, sorry this is late. i wanted to make this at easter but forgot to get the gelatin. (plus, i didn't want to be so committed in case it turned out not so good) so i made it this week, and iced it with a simple vanilla icing (powdered sugar, butter, milk/water, vanilla extract) and sprinkled it with colorful sprinkles. i can not stop eating it. it SMELLS like a bakery..... mmmmmm......

this recipe is a keeper and it's pretty easy :) (go ahead and make it, you will eat the whole thing!)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
