I bought Annalise Roberts' Gluten-free baking Classics and everything so far has been FANTASTIC! I was just wondering what out of her recipe book and Bette Hagman's "The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread" you have made that are also fantastic.

I hate wasting expensive ingredients and time on something that doesn't turn out delicious. I wasn't so keen on Annalise Roberts' breads but I think that's because she doesn't like rice flour in her breads and I love it.

I am buying Bette Hagman's book next so I am wondering which recipe to choose from it?

Here is what I've made in order from best to worst my rating and some comments to help if you buy Annalise Roberts' book

Carrot cake 10/10 - I think it's the best carrot cake I have EVER had. Some comments I got from wheat-eating people were were : " I don't even like carrot cake but this is SO GOOD" , "Umm.... are you going to make that carrot cake again soon?"(that one was repeated a few times) and " You are not missing ANYTHING with ordinary carrot cake"

Lemon cake 10/10 - " I think this is my new favorite cupcake" (from 16-year old cousin) "wow" , "you should make this again at christmas time". I had to make this twice because my boyfriend ate the ENTIRE TWO CAKES in 5 days. He left me one tiny piece, so that way he didn't "eat it all" arrggg... I was so mad. Also, I was confused because he barely weighs 150 pounds ;) .

Pizza crust - 10/10 After being turned off of pizza for more than a year thank's to Glutino's (maybe it was a bad one... maybe they always taste like cardboard), this pizza made me remember that I LOVE pizza. Grimm's peperoni on top somehow makes it shine more... I made a vegetarian one and it was not as delicious. Again, boyfriend ate 2 pizzas in one day. I havent shared this one with others yet.

Buttermilk doghnuts - 10/10 EVERYONE said they were better than timbits.... also I had a stomachache before I made them and after I ate them felt better (???) I am confused by this but every time I ate these I felt fantastic! For the buttermilk I soured rice milk with a little lemon and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Brownie 9/10 - Delicious! 2 people at school bought recipe book because I shared this with them

Banana nut muffins - 9/10 Boyfriend and I destroyed these

Chocolate fudge cake 9/10 - friend said " most satisfying chocolate cake" my friend had had in a long time

Chocolate doughnuts- 8/10 - good but not as good as the buttermilk ones

Foccacia 7.5-10 I liked it, people said it was "good", boyfriend said "okay"

French bread 7/10 - it was just decent

Sandwich bread 6.5/10 -- just too rich for me. I think I might be used to dry rice bread. Boyfriend didn't like it.

So, you don't need to go into as much detail as me, but what bread recipes did you like from Bette Hagman's books... or what other recipes did you find were 10/10 from Annalise Roberts'? I think I like rice breads (other flours mixed in okay) best! Thanks!

From Annalise's book, I really liked the Lemon Coconut/Lemon Poppyseed muffins. Have made both variations several times. I also really liked the Chocolate Ricotta Muffins (back when I could eat dairy) - very moist!

I made the Cranberry Nut bread the other day, and it was good, but a little too sickly sweet. I would probably half the sugar next time. Flavor was good though, coworkers liked that one too. I made the coconut cream pie last year, and it was great! Have also made the lemon squares. Yum! Made the fruit crisp w/ fresh blackberries, that turned out pretty good, except i burned it a little. Have also made the rustic flat bread a couple times. That one's pretty good too. With all the recipes except the Chocolate ricotta muffins and one loaf of the flat bread, i just substituted Featherlight Mix flour for whatever hers called for. That's just what I usually have on hand.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Another great cookbook/website is eatingglutenfree.com. Awesome recipes! The authors teach a cooking class in my area, and every recipe of theirs that I've tried, I've loved!

Wow, thanks! I hate wasting ingredients on stuff that's not good :-). I can't really do dairy either, but I really recommend the doughnuts with a little soured rice milk :-). I used Ryza. Oh, and I THINK I might have added a little coconut powder.

you're welcome. i will have to try the doughnuts. i have a recipe that i made right after my diagnosis a couple years ago. it was good, but a lot of work.

i bought some kinnickinick chocolate doughnuts at the HFS a couple months ago. they're pretty weak, imo. just bland. i have them sitting in my freezer. every time i see them, i think i ought to take one out and whip up some DF chocolate frosting to put on them to make them taste good!

i bet her recipe is good :)

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
