Our Dinner "trip" To Greece

In our "around the world" cooking once a week, we visited Greece last night. I found 2 recipes I thought the kids would like. The lasagna went over so-so (but i LOVED it, so I had leftovers for lunch :)-dd liked it too but ate too much bread, so she was full ). The bread was a HUGE hit. It was perfect and just like you would get from the bakery. The only thing I changed was the flours used. I didn't have 1/2 of the flours it called for, so I subbed all the flours (except flax seeds) for the regular flour blend I have at home. Do make sure and use the full 90 minute rise time, and if I could change one thing, I would cook for 5-10 extra minutes. We couldn't wait for it to cool-it was one of the most beautiful loaves of bread I've seen in a long time-probably from the egg wash.

The lasagna was really easy to prepare, I know I will be making it again for myself!!!

Those are interesting recipes. I've been looking for ways to experiment with polenta. What flours did you use for the bread. I have many of them, except they're getting a little old and I'm not sure that I would want to use them. ;) Thank you for posting!

I had the sundried tomato/garlic (I think) tube of polenta, so I used that. The flours I used was the mix I made up and use for the flax bread-and all my other yeast bread recipes. Off hand, I don't know the concentrations, I know I posted it on here somewhere in the last 2 months, but can't remember where-I'll try to find it and let you know. I know it contains:

cornstarch

sorghum

brown rice

white rice

tapioca

flax seed

almond flour(if I have some-last batch did not)

If I can't find it, I will get it to you-we drive to Lewiston Id tomorrow and I work late tonight, so it might not be until Sunday....

I think you would be safe using whatever you use for other yeast bread recipes though.

I found it!!

Last time I mixed it up, I was out of the almond flour, so I added that same amount of ground flax seed.

that's what I used because that's all I had. You could mix it in with the wet ingredients to reconstiute a bit before baking but i didnt have any hard pieces in the bread.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
