Our Dinner "trip" To Greece

[celiac-mommy]

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.

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

that bread looks delicious! do you think it would work as well w/ dried rosemary? or would that be gross?

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.
