Quick, Easy, Tasty Bread

I recently got this new cookbook from Williams Sonoma. It's great - the person who wrote it originally worked on regular gluten-filled cookbooks for Williams Sonoma (among others) and was a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle's food section for awhile. She was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and completelly re-taught herself how to cook. She has this one recipe for "flaxmeal skillet bread", that I've adapted slightly, that is just great when you're in a pinch to make some bread. It's good for sandwiches (kind of like a focaccia bread sandwich), dipping in soup, topping with good cheese, or eating it by itself (my kids' preferred way of eating). It doesn't make a whole loaf of bread, but when you need something in a pinch (30 minutes or less), it's great!

Thanks for posting this- it sounds really good!!

This does sound very good.

I have been thinking about a savory bread made with baking powder instead of yeast. There are some wheat (i keep spelling it what instead of wheat!) recipes for a quick bread - sandwhich bread. I need to look those up.

I made this recipe today and IT WAS AWESOME!!! It was so good, my family gobbled it down and I have already made another loaf!

I used Annalise Roberts' brown rice flour mix (well, my version of it: 3 cups brown rice flour, 3 cups white rice flour, 2 cups potato starch, 1 cup tapioca starch, all mixed up in and kept in an airtight bin) instead of the brown rice/potato starch combination. I used an 8" x 8" square metal baking dish. The first batch, I didn't have yogurt or buttermilk, so I used about 1/3 cup sour cream and then added enough milk to = 3/4 cup. I also added a teaspoon of yeast just for the yeasty flavor. The second time, I added a bit more baking soda, as it did seem a bit dense the first time.

Okay, it's not as fantastic as Laurie's Lorka Bread--that still reigns as gluten-free Bread Supreme. But this is a close second, and it's so quick and easy, for the time being, at least, it will become our daily bread!

Oh, the possibilities--garlic and rosemary for focaccia, dill and maybe cheddar or shredded swiss, hmmm, maybe making it in big muffin tins (filled like 1/3 full) for quickie hamburger buns...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!!!! I will send a copy to every gluten-free person I know, it's so good!!!!!

Thanks for the recipe! I've made it twice in the last week. The first time I used soured milk as a buttermilk substitute and that seemed to work fine. The second time I used broth instead of milk because we had a lactose intolerant guest. It worked great! I might try the yeast trick next time because the baking soda shines through a bit.

I tried this today with 1/2 cup dairy-free sour cream substitute plus 1/4 cup almond milk to sub for the dairy. And I added a teaspon of yeast for flavor.

It turned out good. Nice flavor. DS dipped it in olive oil. I put homemade pizza sauce on top with mozzarella for a quick pizza.

I'm going to make it in my "muffin-top" pan for hamburger buns. It's a lot fluffier than the Pamela's bread mix that I previously used for hamburger buns. They were dense and heavy.

Plus it's quick and easy -less than 25 minutes start to finish. Thanks Juliet

I've been making this for several months as our "daily bread," and I've adapted a few things that seem to work well.

I double the recipe and make it in a glass 9" x 13" pan that I spray with PAM and dust with cornmeal.

I use twice the amount of baking powder called for, and instead of the rice flour and potato starch, I use whatever rice flour mix I have on hand (usually betterbatter flour, which contains xanthan gum, so that cuts out a step).

I also use a tablespoon of sugar instead of a teaspoon (which means I use two tablespoons when I double the recipe).

I add a teaspoon of yeast (two teaspoons when I double the recipe, of course), not so much for rise, though it does help it have a lighter texture, but for flavor (and it smells like heaven when it is baking!).

Sometimes I sub in 1/4 cup of almond meal for part of the flour.

If I have them, I sprinkle the top with sesame seeds.

This also works well in muffin tins for mini hamburger buns.

YES...I finally got to try this bread. So simple. So easy. So good. I made one batch with Bob's gluten-free flour mix (in place of the brown rice and potato starch) and 1 batch with Carol's. Both worked fine. I subbed powdered buttermilk for the liquid as directed on the Saco box. I put in 1 tsp. yeast like the other recipe said to do (not for rising). And sprinkled sesame seeds on top. One pan makes 4 pieces that you slice in order to have 8 slices. When done baking, it looks like a cake ;)

This has become a favorite of mine. I mixed up a 4-batch mix of the dry ingredients, and so I only have to spoon out what I need. I usually make a half-recipe and make it on my large muffin pan, which makes 2 rolls the size for hamburger buns. I really got tired of eating a bunless burger when others are eating buns, especially during summer cookout season.

I also make it to have foccacia-type sandwiches. Yum. If I wasn't trying to lose weight I'd eat them more often!

Thanks for sharing. It sounds so good! I had basically just given up on bread, but this looks so easy to make and sounds so yummy.

This bread it great and SO EASY. I've made it a few times (with yeast). My daughter loves it, we've used it for sandwiches, grilled cheese, and french toast. I highly recommend it.

      @MegRCxx, it is common for people with celiac disease to have other food intolerances as well. Most common offenders are oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy. Soy, eggs and corn are less common but not rare. So, factor into your consideration.

      Thank you @Scott Adams!! I will definitely have a read through these! If anyone is curious to what i had eaten and am worried about it was the tescos finest frozen bourginoun and creamy mash, only allergen stated was milk but it does contain yeast extract which i am aware can be a bit of an odd one. Once again thank you 🙏🏻

      The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    If you have some time for a good read, here is chapter 1 of a full book published on Celiac.com that deals with the social aspects of celiac disease:

      I have recently started a gluten free diet (waiting for confirmation via endoscope biopsies) I had started to reduce after the biopsy and then had a McDonald’s which confirmed to me my suspicions so decided to go full gluten whilst on holiday as i wanted to enjoy myself, since being back i have noticed that i have got increasingly more anxious due to feeling sick when i had accidentally eaten some on holiday. And not im reading labels worrying if everything doesnt state is gluten free but the ingredients look like they check out may still have gluten in.  Im panicking myself making myself feel worse and seem to be at a bit of a loss, i dont know anyone else with coeliac disease and am finding it all quite overwhelming. any advice is greatly appreciated:)

      We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences. Some schools, like the University of Arizona and Oregon State, are known for their allergy-friendly dining halls—calling their nutrition services directly can give you specifics. If you’re touring campuses, ask about dedicated prep spaces, ingredient labeling, and student support groups. A guide focused solely on this would be so useful—maybe someone here has found one?
