Gluten free bread recipes
« on: September 05, 2011, 10:44:22 AM »
I'm sure some of you on here must make gluten free bread. I would be really grateful if you could give me the recipe. I am looking for recipes with and without yeast.
I would like to go gluten free but need a bread substitute or I will never manage to stick to the diet.
Does anyone on here have any healthy gluten free baking recipes?

You can find loads of recipe on the web for gluten free Irish Soda Bread.  You don't need all the fancy ingredients.  I make a small loaf and all I use is:

1 cup of buckwheat flour
1/4 cup of some other gluten-free flour
1 heaping teaspoon of xanthan gum or guar gum
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 eggs
7/8 cup of unsweetened almond milk
a spritz of honey

I just mix the ingredients together and pour it into a bread baking machine.  90 minutes it is done.  The result tastes rather decent but the bread is somewhat crumbly.  Toasting it is best.

I make small loaves because the bread does not keep very long; this is probably true of all homemade breads.

Finally, do NOT overuse the baking soda.  Too much will ruin it.

Thanks.
Don't' have a bread machine anymore and don't intend to get anyone. Will it be okay in the oven?
By baking soda I take it you mean bicarbonate of soda. Could I use water instead of almond milk?

Sure, you can use an oven.  But I believe you need to use some sort of "milk" (rice milk, soy milk, cow's milk).

That is what I thought too. I was wrong. I can't stand shop-brought bread now.

Have you tried Essene Sprouted Bread? It is normally gluten/wheat & yeast free.

You can make your own:

Or you can buy it from health food shops:

Essene Sprouted Bread can be made into cut sandwiches and toasted, so suitable for lunch & breakfast.

Some types are tastier than others, so experiment and see what suits your tastes.

dear llp, just checking as if this is true i would be delighted.. are you sure that essene sprouted wheat bread is gluten free??
i have understood that the sprouting changes the starches to sugars hence why it is sweeter than normal bread ,
but am not certain it is totally gluten free, more lower gluten..
anyone know this??
llp  thanks for all your wonderful input here  - so appreciate you!!!

......... are you sure that essene sprouted wheat bread is gluten free

Not totally gluten free, since it is still made from wheat.

I think Sprouted Wheat Bread would have lower gluten content, than typical highly processed shop brought bread. But don't quote me on that.

I can eat sprouted wheat bread with no problems, but often get tummy ache from typical highly processed wheat bread.

There are many types of Sprouted Bread available, so you just need to find one what is made with something else other than wheat. Or find one that advertises itself as gluten-free.

The key is to experiment and find a taste and texture that suits you. Some sprouted breads are vile, some taste fantastic. I really like a date & walnut one.

Most health food and vitamin supplement shops sell sprouted bread – check the refrigerated section. But I have never seen them in a supermarket.

Anyway, only suggested it as a healthy alternative to help Dev expand his food repertoire. Most people lose the plot with dietary changes as they feel restricted or bored. The secret is to find yummy alternatives, and you are more likely to stick with it.

I have never brought from the shop link I supplied above, so I cannot vouch for them. I only gave the link so Dev could see the variety of sprouted bread available. There are even more around, the above site only has a limited selection. However, their Hemp bread looks absolutely delicious and hemp is exceptionally good for clearing skin disorders. Hemp is gluten-free and you can make your own organic hemp bread easily at home. Again, just adding variety to the mix here.

I prefer to make my own.
I will attempt to make the almond milk (for which I already have a recipe). I know this sounds stupid but how many cups of raw almonds will make 7/8 cups of milk?

Do you really want to make that much in one go?

It won’t keep long in the fridge, as it is unpasteurised and contains no preservatives, so it is better to make it fresh as and when you need it. 

The recipe I have in front of me says: 1 cup (140g) of raw almonds or cashews - yields 3½ cups (840ml) milk.

The recipe I have in front of me also says: preparation 5 minutes and processing 2 minutes, so making it as and when you need it, is certainly very doable even for the busiest person.

I have a good recipe for gluten-free Irish soda bread, and will try to track that down for you. I also have a good recipe for gluten-free hemp seed bread, but I don't know where that is either.
