Eric - Can another fat source be used besides butter? Any ideas? My GF bread eater would love to try this but can’t eat animal based products (eg, butter).
I would like to know how to mix my own gluten free flour, rather than having to buy it. I don’t suppose there’s plans to let us in on how to do our own?
I’m with the others. Just buying a premade mix holds zero appeal for me, even if it is a good one. I appreciate you trying but sorry, this is a swing and a miss. Share the mix recipe, and the individual flours and I’m in, otherwise, ‘eh’.
Hi Julie. It is mentioned before the recipe.
Ingredients: rice, non-GMO corn starch, tapioca, millet, AF fiber blend (all natural, non-GMO vegetable fiber), sugar, salt, potato, ascorbic acid.
Julie: Hah, I had a hard time re-finding it. It is not obvious. I probably should be included on the product for sale page. Here it is: If you go to the page that has the video of Eric mixing the bread.
Just before the video in his intro there is a highlighted link that says “this flour”. That link brings you here:
Scroll down to the end of the description and there it is.
(Quite well hidden I must say)
Good baking, I haven’t tried the recipe yet, too stuck on a rye bread recipe currently.
Ops I first responded to wrong person (Julie). To Penny: The ingredients are actually where they should be, On the product page where you buy the gluten free BREAD flour, the ingredients are listed at the end of the description.
ButI can’t find the ingredients listed on the product page of the ALL PURPOSE gluten free. I had to look at the back of the bag on the sales page and was able to make out this: brown rice flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum. It’s really hard to read.
Good luck, good baking
Sure. I’ve made a vegan version, no butter or milk, and it came out fine. If you want to keep it truer to this recipe, maybe coconut butter and almond or soy milk.
In the video it states using a covered baker. Would that be the same as the heated dutch oven?
And…
On using a Romertop type clay baker, would you soak it first.
I am very new to baking so I do have a few questions.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
Yes it is the same and no I wouldn’t soak the baker first. That’s partly because I preheat the baker before putting in the dough so any moisture from soaking would evaporate before baking.
Hi! Thanks for letting me join!
I’m in the U.K. so don’t use cups to measure. If 1/2 cup (milk) = 130g, then, surely, 2 cups = 520g not 300g?
I used the recipe as printed, but, also, it turned to soup, so I’ve increased the flour to 500g.
I’ll see how it turns out!
Ah - ok. That’s why I don’t understand “cups” as a measure!! It looks like the g/f bread flour I use isn’t as thick as the one in the recipe - hence the “soup”. Result wasn’t exactly perfect (g/f brick again )
Guess I’ll need more practice!
Thanks for the reply - think I’ll stick to sourdough. At least I can make that one work!!
