Synopsis

A breakthrough bread book by the unchallenged expert in gluten-free and wheat-free cooking.

In Bette Hagman's three earlier cookbooks, she worked with gluten-free flours that are safe for celiacs (those who are intolerant to gluten) and for those with wheat allergies, to create recipes that actually taste good. Knowing from her own hard-won experience that bread is the greatest loss for the wheat, oats, rye, or barley intolerant, she has experimented with exciting new bean-based flours and now devotes an entire book to breads. Here are yeast breads, yeast-free breads, muffins, rolls, buns, breakfast breads, and crackers-a veritable cornucopia to be made in the oven or the bread machine for people who cannot buy breads at a bakery or supermarket but must rely on their own kitchens to provide the staff of life.

Along with dozens of great recipes comes a medical foreword by Peter H. R. Green, M.D., of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University; a beginner's guide to understanding and cooking with gluten-free flours; answers to commonly asked questions about baking with these flours; and a source list of where to buy gluten-free baking supplies. The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread joins Hagman's three previous books, each recognized as the best in this special diet category.

Yeast Bread Recipes from Other Books in the Gluten-free Gourmet SeriesGone forever are the days of crumbly rice bread that won't stay together for a sandwich. This chapter of new and springy textured yeast breads using bean, sorghum, and/or rice flours should let you have any bread you can desire. I have used four different flour mixes and even created some breads blending several flours not used frequently. Three of the flour formulas are new, so please turn to here for a full description of these formulas and recipes for making them in several amounts.You'll find a new easy-to-use format to allow the choice of oven baking with different-sized loaves, making one loaf or two or, if you prefer, using one of the three sizes of bread machines (when the recipe is suitable). An explanation of the heading sizes follows:Small: One 81/2" × 41/2" loaf pan or a 1-pound bread machineMedium: One 9" × 5" loaf pan or a 11/2-pound bread machineLarge: Two 81/2" × 41/2" loaf pans or a 2-pound bread machineIf there is no medium size given, this means the bread is only suitable for loaves, as in French Bread, or for another baking pan (such as a casserole). The one exception is the Boston Bean Bread (here), which has an explanation in the Note.If you want to use a favorite yeast bread recipe from my other books, you will find them listed at the end of this chapter (here). Flour Mix Formulas Bette's Four Flour Bread MixKeep a bag of this basic mix on your pantry shelf, and you can make up any number of tasty breads in minutes without the fuss of measuring any dry ingredients.1 I've given a few variations, but this mild-flavored bread can take other additions, including cocoa powder, grains, nuts, and a whole variety of fruits. Make it with water, as the original recipe suggests, or use fruit juice, milk (or milk substitute), or a carbonated beverage. Use your imagination or get ideas from the many bread recipes now being published for wheat breads.Note: To blend this thoroughly use either a large container and stir well or place in a strong plastic kitchen bag and tumble to mix.Bette's Four Flour Bread400° 
 
A mild-flavored, wonderfully springy bread that has become my basic bread. Use it plain as shown here or vary it in a dozen different ways. The bread mix recipe given below enables you to make tasty breads in minutes without the fuss of measuring any dry ingredients. Keep a bag of it on your pantry shelf.Grease your chosen pan(s) and dust with rice flour.The liquid temperature will be different for hand mixing and bread machines. For hand mixing have it about 110° to 115°; for your bread machine, read the directions in the manual.For both hand mixing and machine mixing, combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.In another bowl (or the bowl of your heavy-duty mixer), whisk the egg and white(s), margarine, and dough enhancer. Add most of the water. The remaining water should be added as needed after the bread has started mixing, either in the bowl of your mixer or in the pan of the bread machine.For hand mixing: With the mixer turned to low, add the dry ingredients (including the yeast) a little at a time. Check to be sure the dough is the right consistency (should be like cake batter). Add more of the reserved water as necessary. Turn themixer to high and beat for 31/2 minutes. Spoon the dough into the prepared pan(s), cover, and let rise in a warm place about 35-45 minutes for rapid-rising yeast, 60 or more minutes for regular yeast or until the dough reaches the top of the pan. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 50-60 minutes, covering after 10 minutes with aluminum foil.For bread machine: Place the ingredients in the bread machine in the order suggested by your machine manual. Use the setting for white bread with medium crust.VARIATIONS: 
 
LEMON-POPPY SEED: For each cup of mix used, add 1 teaspoon dried lemon peel and 1 teaspoon poppy seeds to the dry ingredients. 
QUINOA BREAD: For each cup of mix used, add 1 tablespoon quinoa flour to the dry ingredients and 1 teaspoon honey to the wet ingredients. 
ALMOND BREAD: For each cup of mix used, add 11/2 tablespoons almond meal to the dry ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon almond flavor to the wet ingredients. 
CINNAMON-NUT: For each cup of mix used, add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the dry ingredients and stir in 2 tablespoons chopped nuts after the dough is mixed when baking by hand; when using a bread machine, add the nuts when the machine manual suggests. 
SESAME BEAN BREAD: For each cup of mix used, add 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds to the dry ingredients and 1 teaspoon molasses to the wet ingredients.

Another great textured bread. This lemony poppy seed bread is one I make often for sandwiches because the flavor doesn't overpower cheeses or even mild-flavored meats like chicken breast, and it has enough flavor to be eaten plain. This is especially great for morning toast and jam.Grease your chosen pan(s) and dust with rice flour.In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.Dissolve the potato flakes in the cup of warm water. Set aside.For hand mixing: In the bowl of your mixer, place the eggs and white, add the margarine (cut into small chunks) and dough enhancer. Beat on low until the eggs are foamy. Add most of the potato water, reserving about 2 tablespoons to add later ifneeded. With the mixer on low, add the flour (including the yeast) a little at a time. Beat on high and then check to see if you need the reserved water to achieve a cakelike texture. Beat 3 minutes on high. Spoon into the prepared pan(s).Let rise until the dough reaches the top of the pan (about 35-45 minutes for rapid-rising yeast, and 60-80 minutes for regular). Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 50-60 minutes, covering after 10 minutes with aluminum foil. Turn out of the pan and rub top with margarine or butter for a softer crust. Cool before slicing.For bread machine: Follow directions in the machine manual for the order in which ingredients are placed in the pan. Use water at the temperature instructed.

This recipe from The Gluten-free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy is so special I have repeated it in this book. As the basic bread at my house, it means toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and raves from everyone who tastes it. Not only is the flavor wonderful, but the texture is that of regular wheat breads.
