Best Gluten Free Bread Yet, Vegan and Five Stars!

Posted on November 28, 2007 | Filed Under Gluten Free Food, Recommended, celiac disease, celiac living, gluten free diet, gluten free recipes

Today I had my first complete success in baking GF bread, the first loaf that was completely vegan, gluten free, and did rise without collapsing during the bake cycle. There were two new factors in this loaf that I had not used before. First I used silken tofu as an egg replacer, and second I used Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose GF Baking Flour, which I will definitely be using in the future. There was no brown rice or white rice flour in this bread at all.
This mix contains Garbanzo Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca Flour, White Sorghum Flour, and Fava Bean Flour.

I used a recipe based on “Chickpea Yeast Bread” on page 116 of The Best ever Wheat and Gluten-Free Baking Book, I substituted the Bob’s Red Mill mix for the 3 cups of various flours, and I used tofu instead of eggs.

Wet Ingredients:
5 ounces silken tofu
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 and 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon Vermont maple syrup

Dry Ingredients:
3 cups Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose GF Baking Flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
3 teaspoons xanthan gum
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 cup Better Than Milk Vegan Beverage Mix, Soy
1 package yeast

Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, try to break up the brown sugar clumps.
Put the silken tofu, olive oil and 1/2 cup of the water in a blender and mix thoroughly.
Put the dry ingredients in your Zojirushi or other bread machine
Pour in the tofu/oil/water blend
Pour in the remaining cup of water
Push the quick cycle (or gluten free cycle) button
Then wait about 2 hours for your delightful bread-like loaf of gluten free bread. Loveses it!

Gluten Free and Vegan Banana Crumb Crust Pie

Posted on November 25, 2007 | Filed Under Gluten Free Food, gluten free diet, gluten free recipes

This was my first ever attempt at a banana pie, and only the third pie I’ve baked in my life, but 5 minutes after the first tentative slice was cut, half of the pie was gone.

Bottom Crust:
Combine 2 cups of teff flour with 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup olive oil in a mixing bowl. Press this crumbly mixture into the bottom and sides of a 12″ pie plate. Some will be leftover. Quantities adapted from a Bob’s Red Mill recipe.

Filling:
Blend one 14oz package of silken tofu, 4 heaping teaspoons of brown sugar, 3 ripe to over-ripe bananas and a 1/4 cup of unsweetened soy milk with a teaspoon of cinnamon. Continue blending until it becomes a gelatinous mass. Pour into pie plate. Slice a fourth banana into 1/4″ high slices and press into pie filling.

Top Crust:
With any remaining bottom crust mixture, add 1/2 cup brown rice flour, 1/2 cup buckwheat or sorghum flour, 1/4 cup teff flour, 3 heaping teaspoons of brown sugar, and just enough water to form small balls as you mix it all up. Drop this as crumbs onto the pie filling. If needed make some more so that none or very little of the banana pie filling can be seen.

Bake in a 425 degree oven, check in 35 minutes. Should be done in 45 minutes or less. Remove when the top crust looks darker.

Because of all the tofu this pie is unusually high in protein, and bananas are good for you too. Some people might want more sugar, but not me. Enjoy!

Another Site About Celiac Disease

Posted on November 14, 2007 | Filed Under For Celiacs, Recommended, celiac disease, celiac living, gluten free diet, gluten free recipes

There is a new website for people with celiac disease, the intended use is to provide information and news about celiac disease. Users can register free, and each user is encouraged to maintain their own blog as well as posting messages to a fairly basic forum. Users can also create polls which anyone can vote on, registered or not.


Perhaps the best feature of this new website is the Celiac-related news. It is categorized, mixed, blended and served in your choice of several ways -as just headlines in the left and right sidebars, or in more detail if you use the navigation links.

There is also a big long section of GF recipes, and links to a few GF food items.

The site designer (c’est moi) hopes to build a community of people with celiac disease, and people on a GF diet for other reasons, like autism, are certainly welcome too. There is still time for you to be among the very first people to create an account at All About Celiac. Really, visit http://allaboutceliac.org/ today! It’s all free, of course.
