Bread

I can't use this recipe anymore for us, since we have gone to a grain rotation diet. But I worked for years to come up with this recipe. It is the best bread recipe I found that uses no eggs or dairy or legumes. And it really does taste like bread.

2 C brown rice flour
1 ½ C tapioca flour
1 C sorghum flour
½ C teff flour
¾ C flaxmeal (or use 3 large eggs, slightly beaten)
½ Tbsp guar gum
2 tsp salt
2 C warm (110F ) water
¼ C honey
2 Tbsp instant-type dry yeast (Red Starr is gluten free)

Add honey and yeast to warm water. Let
stand about 5 minutes. Mix flours, flax meal, guar gum and salt
together in mixer bowl. Pour liquid into flour mixture. Add more
water if needed to make a thick, sticky batter. Spoon into 2 small,
well oiled loaf pans. Let rise 20-30 minutes. Bake 40 minutes in a 375 degree oven or until golden brown and bread begins to pull
away from the sides of the pan. Cool in pan 5 minutes and then turn
out onto rack to cool. Allow to cool completely before slicing as GF
baked goods tend to be gummy while hot.

This recipe tastes the most like whole wheat bread to us.

Hey RasJane, we're sending in the sample to test Princess for Celiac. At the moment she is eating store bought GF bread that I hate because it has icky processed oils in it. Blech! It seems they all do. :(

If Princess does have to avoid gluten, I thought (gulp) that I would try to bake my own bread (gasp!). For a total non-baker, is this an easy recipe? Can I use a glass bread pan? Any guidance you can offer would be much appreciated!!

Can this recipe be made in a bread machine?
