THE BEST HEALTHY GLUTEN FREE BREAD


THE BEAT HEALTHY GLUTEN FREE BREAD
Originally uploaded by tiny_teesha

Tastes perfection, great texture (crunchy but light and poppy type of crunchy not hard kind of crunchy)! Omg i hit the jackpot, i think i could tweak it only slightly and it's absolute perfection. So so so tasty!!! And nutty, but not strong. Perfection. Best tasting crust EVER! It's sweet....i don't know why!!!

Ok!

There is a fair amount of stuff that goes in this but here goes! (I undercooked this one so i will know for next time!)

1c Brown Rice Flour ground yourself preferably to make a nice popping bread.
1c tapioca flour (this is the only "bad" ingredient)
1/3c Samo/ Moraiyo flour, if you can't find it you can use any other flour you like here, corn, buckwheat, whatever works.
1T Soya flour
1T Sorghum
2T Sago (this is a starch)

2t Xanthan
1T Baking powder

2T Sesame ground
2T lecithin granules (soy) -helps it rise

2T ground linseed in 6T warm water (or nut /non dairy milk) I recall adding more water and possibly more linseed because i was juggling 2 recipes. This should equate to about 3/4c of gelatinous mass.

1T yeast in a cup of warm water or non dairy milk. Sprinkle some tapioca and vanilla sugar for it to feed off and grow.

2T Agave or honey
1T Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2c Tofu (Silken)
1 Egg
1/4c sunflower oil or sesame oil

First mix up the linseed matter and yeast and leave to stand while you sift all dry ingredients in a bowl and incorporate well.

Make a well and add liquid/moist ingredients. Stir the well first then cave in the flour and slowly stir with a metal spoon.

Work quickly to place loaf in an oiled tin so it stays light and fluffy and smooth the top with the spoon. Top with sesame or sunflower oil and sprinkle with ground and whole sesame and linseed.

Allow it to rise in a warm oven for 30 minutes to an hour until it doubles and fills the pan. It rises flat and neat.

Cook at 180 for 50 minutes or there abouts. It's a wholemeal loaf so it will look darker, don't be scared. LEAVE it to cook, don't pull it out like i did, it caved in. That's what happens when you take it out at 30 minutes. Leave it. Trust me.

After the first ten minutes it will kindly shrink making removal from the pan extremely easy later. Don't be alarmed, this is normal.

Despite that i slightly undercooked it, it tasted so delicious. Easily my favorite bread aside from the "White" version.

The tofu is the secret! Really cheap, only a dollar at asian grocery stores.
