I Ate A Sandwich!

I have to tell you - after this bread was a flop for me - I cut it in slices, let it dry for a day, and made bread crumbs -

Oh my gosh, my family loved the meatloaf and the meatballs I made with it - I have to say, the meatloaf was so much better than I ever remember it. I froze the rest of the crumbs in little snack bags for the next batch I make up.

I need to get more sorghum flour and I will be making the bread again soon.

Is this bread like a traditional sandwich bread, like wonder sponge? Texture? Flavor? Also, does it need to be toasted the next day?

Hmmm.. As far as texture, the best I can describe it as is similar to a loaf of wheat bread, but not quite. I thought that the flavor was better than wheat bread. It's definately not like a loaf of white Wonder Bread, but it does have the air pockets and texture that you would expect in a good loaf of bread.

This bread has a mild flavor that went very well with peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, french toast, even plain bread and butter! Best of all, it didn't crumble and held up to making a full ham and cheese sandwich. What excited me the most about this bread was that it is a full size loaf, not one of the itty bitty loaves that you buy at the store for about $5 a loaf.

I kept this bread on the counter in a sealed bag. After 2 days, I finished off the loaf by making a peanut butter sandwich with it. It was still fairly moist and didn't need to be toasted. I did notice that it was starting to go stale, but the bag had not sealed properly. Don't know if that had anything to do with the staleness.

Can anyone else add anything about texture and flavor?

I did it! I did it! I made a sandwich that actually tastes like a sandwich!!

I'm not talking about a sandwich made from those dry, cardboard flavored breads, either. I'm talking moist, springy bread with a thin, flaky crust type bread sandwich!

I made the bread and I tell you, peanut butter and apple jelly has never tasted so good. (Yes, this is my very own recipe that I adapted from a regular (glutenated) white bread recipe.)

Only problem I had with the bread is that it is so moist and springy it is difficult to cut while the bread is still hot. So, make sure to allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.

Well, finally I gave this recipe a try. I mixed my sourgum flour mixture. Easy. Then I put all my ingredients together and anxiously waited for it to rise. I waited and hour, nothing! Another half hour and still nothing. The bread was in a cool oven, no drafts. Then I feeling rather perplexed I looked in my drawer to find that I had forgotten the yeast!!!! WaHaaa! Now what. Well, I wasn't throwing that mix away. I am far to frugile for that. So I took the mixture out of the pan and spread it on a well oiled pizza pan. I baked the mixture for 20 min at 350. I took it out and added EVOO, carmelized onions, garlic and rosemary. I put it back in the oven for another 5 min. My DH asked if we could add some cheese to it and so we did. Italian cheese. So then I put it under the broiler. UMMMM!!!! What a fantasitic mistake! It was a little cheewey so the next time I might cook it a little longer. But I will be doing this again real soon! It was a cross between a foccasa and a pizza. We LOVED it! You would have never guessed it was gluten free. So needless to say, I don't know what type of bread it would have been but it was a great foccasa/white pizza. Thanks for the recipe.

Ohhh... I'm going to have to try that! I've been wanting pizza lately. Maybe this weekend when my sister comes to visit!

Do you think this would work in a bread machine?

I made this bread today and it was so yummy. I cant wait to make french toast with it tom for breakfast. I even splurged and put butter on it. It is the first good bread I have had since being diagnosed two years ago. Thank you for the recipe.

Forgot to mention that this is the bread I will be using for my Thanksgiving stuffing this year. I may cut it up and let it get stale overnight.

I used the sorghum bread for grilled cheese for lunch and then made french toast(whick I have been having a craving for)for dinner. This recipe is definately a keeper.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
