My husband is a bread monster which could possibly present as a problem as I am coeliac and we have NO GLUTEN in our house. Gluten free bread is anywhere from $5 - $10 a tiny loaf from the shops. I buy some really nice Verdini Six Seed bread that lasts me a week sometimes two. The bread monster could probably consume it in 3 days. -_-
We asked around and googled around and experimented and finally have come up with a suitable solution to feed the bread monster. The other great thing about it, is that he makes it himself! Yay! Once less thing I have to cook. Here is our fine tuned recipe for gluten free bread. (Not really healthy - but it is also soy and egg free and possibly dairy free if you use coconut yoghurt) Tim's Gluten, Egg, Soy Free Breadmaker Bread recipe - AKA "Bread Monster Bread Recipe" Ingredients: 2 tbsp sago (or tapioca / arrowroot) 5 tbsp yoghurt (substitute coconut yoghurt for dairy free option?) 2 cups warm water 1 tsp guar gum 2 tbsp sunflower seeds 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (leave out or substitute other seeds to your preference) 2 1/2 cups Edmonds gluten free flour 1/2 cup buckwheat flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp olive oil 2 tsp gluten free yeast Directions: Soak 2 tbsp sago or tapioca in 5 tbsp yoghurt in a separate bowl. Mix in thoroughly, this helps the sago get absorbed and helps bond the flours together Add 2 cups tepid water to breadmaker bowl Add flours Add seeds Add guar gum Add salt to one corner Add oil to one corner Make a indent in top of flour and add yeast. Add yoghurt/sago mix Mix ingredients together and cook on the gluten free or shortest cycle in breadmaker. The mixture should be like a thick batter, you can add more water if you need to to achieve the right texture. Also when it has stopped kneading give it a stir to make sure the seeds have not sunk to the bottom. I cut it when it cools and put it in the freezer to toast but it is yummy to eat as bread while it is warm. (It gets a bit crumbly sometimes so you have to cut carefully!)
