My Absolutely Favorite Gluten Free Bread Recipe
I use this recipe for bread, hamburger and hot dog buns, pizza crust (precook 20 minutes pizza shell, before cooking with your toppings), and dinner rolls. This is our family's favorite and most versatile white bread recipe.
To mix this bread recipe I use the bread machine. But, do not use the bread machine to cook the bread, the bread machine has too long of a rise cycle (you only rise 15 minutes when using Bread machine yeast) or you will end up with a big air hole in the finished bread. You might want to try regular yeast when using the bread machine, but I haven't tried this, so I am not sure if it will make a difference.
Wet Ingredients
1 cup hot water, 110°
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 egg plus 1 egg white
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dry Ingredients, Sift and mix together well
1 cup Sorghum Flour blend
2 cups potato starch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon guar gum
1 teaspoon gelatin
1/8 teaspoon ascorbic acid
1-1/2 tablespoons Bread machine Yeast
Warm your bread machine pan with hot water from the tap, meanwhile, sift and mix together your dry ingredients in a separate bowl, set aside.
Pour out the hot water from the bread machine pan. Add the wet ingredients to the bread machine pan, mix together well with a whisk.
Add your mixed dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients in the bread machine.
Add the bread machine yeast on top of the dry ingredients.
Start your bread machine on the dough setting and let the machine knead your bread for about 10 to 15 minutes.
I use Becel margarine to coat any pan I am cooking the different breads in.
Dough makes 2 small or 1 large loaves of bread, Rise 15 to 20 minutes in a warm oven, Only let the bread rise until double, more than that and you will have an air hole in the center of your loaf. Cook 30 minutes at 400°. Cover bread with foil half way through cooking if the crust is getting too brown. We like the crispy brown crust, so I do not cover mine.
Or, 2 pizza shells, Rise 15 minutes in a warm oven, cook 20 minutes at 400°. At 10 minutes into the cooking, I change racks that the pizza shells are on, so the bottoms don't get too brown. I freeze the second shell after cooling for 5 minutes on a rack, putting it into a large Ziplock freezer bag.
Or, approximately 12 large dinner rolls, hamburger or hot dog buns. Rise 15 minutes in a warm oven; cook 20 - 30 minutes at 375°. The dinner rolls I cook in a muffin pan, using a heaping 1/8 measure cup. I usually have extra dough, so I make a small loaf of bread too.

My Favorite Brown Rice Pasta
Wow, can you believe it's been almost a year since I have added to this blog. Were has the time gone, I guess I have been baking.
I have found one of the best rice pasta's, Tinkyada Rice Pasta at
http://tinkyada.com that I would like to tell you about. It cooks up wonderfully and isn't all soggy. It can even be reheated and baked without loosing the taste or texture.
I buy my Tinkyada pasta at Metro foods in the Ottawa Ontario region. I also just saw the spaghetti pasta at Farm Boy.
