Love this forum - Gluten Free/no knead bread

egginator · February 2009

My wife and son are gluten intolerant and bread is a real challenge. I just started messing around with the no knead recipe, but with gluten free ingredients. Here is the first try. It really tasted like bread, which is remarkable and totally awesome. Thanks to all of those that have been posting about no knead bread for the last 6 months.

If it looks like bread, and tastes like bread, I'm gonna call it bread. :laugh:

Howdy Egginator.
We just did a dizzy pig demo at Whole Foods in Fairfax today. It was Gluten-Free Fair Day, and it just so happens our rubs have none. I was amazed at how many people could not tolerate gluten. What's wild is that people now know what to avoid, and it didn't used to be that way. Glad your wife and son know this now. Imagine what it would be like if they just had to live with the symptoms instead of knowing how to stay away from it.

The bread looks really good. Especially since gluten is one of the keys to good bread.

Cheers!

Thanks,
Steak is gluten free too and I just rubbed DP cow lick all over a few sirloins! Gluten is in just about every prepackaged food out there, so it's a challenge. No weekday shortcuts around here. But, now it looks like french dip sandwiches are back on the menu!

At my new job I have two siblings that cant have gluten. Mom brings in most of thier food. The bread is mostly rice based. She had me taste some,yuk.
I'm glad you found something that resembles the real deal.

I've tasted a lot of gluten free bread and it has always been exactly that -- yuk. This bread tastes like bread and has a real, bread like crust - truly amazing. It has been a year+ long effort with at least a loaf a week and I have finally made something that really looks, tastes and feels like bread. I have to admit that I did not do it on the egg, but soon....

We share your pain about the bread.

I would love the recipe if you don't mind sharing. My new daughter-in-law is celiac and we have been trying to find a good gluten free bread. That has been one of the hardest gluten free items to make/find. It's hard to make a meal where she can eat everything and not worry. :( We love her to death and try to make it easier for her when she's with us. I even have to make sure not to use the same measuring spoons or cup unless they are washed just before using.

I used http://www.eggheadforum.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=585137&catid=1

posted by Bente except the following -
recipe calls for 3 cups flour, I used 1-2/3 c sorghum flour, 2/3 c rice flour, 2/3 c potato starch flour and 1 T xantham gum I think you could sub the rice flour for anything to make it more interesting. I'm thinking Quinoa for next time.

The next day I added 2 eggs and 1/3 c oil

It was a gooey mess and I added quite a bit of sorghum flour to make it into a loaf

The sorghum flour is key. Rice flour is cheap, but it is hard, dense and crumbly. ie - it makes awful bread.

This is where I get the sorghum flour http://www.twinvalleymills.com/
