When Allan started cutting gluten from his diet, a friend from work gave him this recipe. It is good fresh, but we think it tastes better toasted. It works very well for sandwiches also.
A few helpful hints on this bread:
To keep gluten free, but sure to check ingredient labels.
The bread will stick, so use a nonstick bread pan or grease the pan well. If it does stick, let it sit a few minutes before trying to remove from pan.
Do not let the dough rise over the pan, it will “boil over” and make a mess.
Also, be sure to bake the bread long enough. It may sound hollow, but still be sticky inside. A thermometer should read between 208-210 when done.
Let cool before cutting. It does not have to be completely cooled though.
This easy, no knead bread recipe can be varied in many ways. This is one of our favorites.
This recipe does make a huge loaf of bread. If desired, use all unbleached flour or experiment with your favorite ratio of white and wheat. The finished bread freezes well once completely cooled, but if you prefer to make a smaller loaf, see measurements at the end of the recipe.
Cornbread goes with so many meals, but it is especially good with chili! This recipe makes a very small batch, but you can double it and bake in larger pan if desired.
These are super easy biscuits to make. I often start the dough ahead of time and place it in the refrigerator. Then I pull it out and finish it just before I want to bake the biscuits.
These are our favorite biscuits to serve with gravy.
While overseas, we often could not get some of our favorite foods. Most of the time it did not matter, but occasionally we wanted comfort food from home. Not only are English muffins easy to make, but use ingredients that were found easily while we traveled.
They are good plain, but English muffins are much better toasted. They are good eaten in so many ways; with eggs and cheese, as hamburger rolls, smothered in butter, or as a base for peanut butter and jelly.
Once sourdough is made, it needs to be fed occasionally.
You can find many good sourdough recipes to make if you were not given any from a friend. I recommend the recipe from Artisan Breads Every Day by Peter Reinhart.
