Well, as far as the egg whites go, it is for 2 full size (ie normal loaf pan) loaves of bread. If you only make 1 loaf, it's only 4 egg whites, which is not much. Plus, you need the extra protein and volume to hold the loaf together without it turning into a hockey puck. As far as the salt, that is what DH decided was enough after numerous loaves, any...

There is a recipe for gluten-free challah in the book "Healthy Bread in five minutes a day" that I have used and had very good luck with. The recipe may also be on the "artisan bread in five minutes a day" website. If not, the book is hugely popular and in most libraries.

I couldn't buy it even if I was willing to pay $4.00 per box. It hasn't shown up anywhere near me. Anyway, here is the link to my version of the gluten-free bisquick thread. Use the regular recipes, not the gluten-free ones, as this version behaves just like the real bisquick and has the butter/shortening in it.

Mushroom risotto with a sauteed chicken breast and some sort of wilted greens is what I would do with it.

Here's my pumpkin bread recipe: 1 stick butter softened 2 eggs 2/3 c. sugar 3/4 c. canned pumpkin 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp. yogurt 2 c. rice flour (or a 50/50 mix of buckwheat and rice flours) 1-2 tsp. pumpkin pie spices (to taste) Cream sugar and butter, then beat in eggs. Stir in pumpkin and yogurt...

I'm starting to think that I'm a glutton for punishment. I was thinking about the mock udi's bread recipe that I came up with after toying with my german puffy pancake recipe. So I pulled out my gluten-free bread supplies and my recipe. Here's the latest version, which created more air holes than my previous version. When placed next to the real Udi...

I totally know. I could buy tons of brown rice for dirt cheap and grind my own, too. I'm just too cheap to pay that much right now. Then again, I can get Bob's red mill brown rice flour without any trouble around here, so I just go with that.

Brown rice is really hard to get ground into a fine powder. I have already killed 2 coffee grinders trying to do so. I quit trying after that. I suppose if you want to spend like $130 or so for a grain mill, you could go to town without any fuss. But I have so far refused to cough up that much money just to grind my own flours.

My pans are 9x5.And I'm glad to help. Laura

Not really, other than grease it really, really well. Just start at the low end of the baking time and watch it like a hawk until the bottom of the loaves is evenly brown. That is how I can tell cakes etc. are done. Two pyrex baking pans that are "normal" size should not be any different other than browning speed.

I'm pretty biased, but I really like my version of Udi's bread. It's not an exact replica, but it makes really tasty french toast. DH likes it for sandwiches and it doesn't change texture as fast as regular gluten-free bread (it probably helps that we store it in the fridge). I don't know that any of us can exactly replicate Udi's. I suspect that there...

I dug this thread up for somebody and read through it again. I noticed that I forgot to mention that when I use this, I use the regular bisquick recipes and maybe up the liquid a pinch. You'll probably end up with funky results if you use this mix in the gluten-free specific recipes, as mine already has shortening/butter/fat added.

I had a brainstorm today. Here's the tweaked recipe. DH raved, it seems less dense and more like normal homemade bread. It's pretty much the same recipe that I started with. 2 1/2 c. buckwheat flour 1 1/2 c. rice flour 1/2 c. starch (potato, tapioca or corn) 3/4 tsp. dough enhancer or vinegar 3 tsp. salt 3 tsp. xanthan gum 3 tbsp. sugar 3 tbsp...

I spent a lot of time this weekend saying "thanks but hubby can't have that" in regards to leftover pizza, chicken, potatoes, etc. When my family says "I forgot" I tell them that I don't expect them to, that's my job. My family doesn't usually think to watch out for DH. If we go out to dinner, I call ahead and talk to the manager about menu options. ...

A coffee grinder works very well, and you can find cheap ones.
