We have now settled into the beginning of the school year and I have begun baking once again!! Below you will find a new bread recipe that we just made, very good texture and taste. We have tried a few new products.
Kinnickkinnick (who also make k'toos - gf oreos) has come out with a 4 pack of premade gf crusts. We had sworn by glutino in the past, but KinnickKinnick has surpassed the taste and texture. They provide a soft crust which can also be made into bread sticks or whatever else you can come up with, excellent!
San-J, our favorite gf soy, now has szechuan sauce as well! It has a kick, so use your discretion with your children.
Glutino gf lemon wafer cookies. My 4-year old wants these constantly, I have to hide the box, or Molly would never get one!
The following recipe had a great flavor and texture, although not as pretty as a traditional baguette. Next time, I am going to try adding 3/4 cup of asiago cheese and dusting the top with some fine cornmeal.
Baguette
3 cups gf high protein flour blend
(see previous post, in this blend I use garbanzo, arrowroot, tapioca, brown rice flour)
1 Tbsp cornmeal, more for dusting
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp xanthan gum
2 pkgs. (4 1/2 tsp) rapid yeast
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 eggs, room temperature
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a double baguette form (I used a jelly roll pan) with foil,extending foil up the sides by 2 inches. Lightly grease foil and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Mix dry ingredients together in the bowl of stand mixer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, vinegar, eggs and oil. Add to dry ingredients.
Using beater or paddle of mixer (I used the paddle), beat mix on low speed until well blended. Then turn the speed up (I used level 5) and beat for 5 minutes.
Wth oiled hands or oiled plastic wrap, divide the dough in half and shape into 2 baguettes. Place in prepared pan and cover with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
Spritz with water, place in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until done.
Enjoy!
Please let me know what you think!!
