Well, after cooking GF/CF food for about 10 years now, I have finally discovered the bread maker! I got totally excited by the good results we obtained and this is why I made this video to share. Now, I must say, that in the last 3 weeks, I have spoken to many parents with great enthusiasm about this discovery, and well, nearly all have already got a bread maker and know everything about it. I dont know why I was the last one to try this? But in case there are still a few people out there buying not very good GFCF bread products in Supermarkets, try the bread maker instead. Mine was the cheapest on marker £40, Kenwood, and there is a programme that does GF bread. I initially followed the recipe, but then started to change things, like the flours, spices/herbs, type of oil. I have not yet used onions, olives or fruits in the bread, but I will try this soon. I have included in this video the most basic recipe, except that I added 20% of buckwheat flour to the white GF flour mix (80%). For UK people I used Dove farm GF white flour and buckwheat. I am also showing an easy lunch to prepare with the bread, when the bread is good, one can use it for cooking in all sort of ways. What I show is the easiest and least work-load consuming. If your children like cooking, they should be able to help or do this by themselves.
Recipe: Water 410ml (14oz), Eggs (160g, or 0.352lb, that is 3-4 eggs depending on the size), oil (olive or grape seed oil) 45ml (3 table spoons), Cider Vinegar 5ml (1 tea spoon), White rice flour 330g (0.7lb), tapioca flour 85g (0.2lb), potato flour 85g (0.2lb), Xanthan gum 2 tsp, salt 1 tea spoon (I used 1.3 tsp), sugar 25 g (0.1lb), yeast 1 ½ tsp. In the video I used 400gr of the mix of fours and 100 g of buckwheat. Ingredients are added in that order and thats all.
For the lunch, I did a sort of Banadora (Lebanese dish, shared across most culture), onions, vine tomatoes, garlic, salt pepper, eggs, all mixed together. Put on sliced bread with a salad.
About the ending clip that was the play I was listening to which I quite liked and somehow found it relevant (though not to the GF bread!) ;-)
