Saturday Bake?

Oat, rye and honey sourdough. This was baked in our small oven on the boat but I’m still v happy with it (made two actually).

The recipe is my own?

The taste was awesome? and made a change from Soda bread for brekkie ?

These are Double Free Cookies, an American recipe I took off the internet, it made a change and they contain chocolate chips and walnuts.

Linda made this orange marmalade and sultana cake yesterday with the last of or self raising flour. We are going to try making a banana loaf using flour ground down from porridge oats later, not sure how it will turn out

It should have read Double Tree, I've never made them before, the recipe turned up on aol news, apparently a popular cookie for the americans, they're ok but I doubt I will cook them again, but it was a good boredom beater!

It's not recipes I need but some basic ingredients as I am running short of white rice flour and gluten free yeast has been unobtainable for about 6 months.

I think it rather funny they just say "gluten free flour" without specifying which flour* and which blends - also no advice as to making sure everything used HAS to be either new or never used for anything containing gluten ...... even baking gluten free in a kitchen that handles gluten is a no-no if making for a coeliac.

Gluten-free baking is very much a black art and so many celebrity cooks think they can do it and then fll flat on their faces. The trouble is that they have so many followers who then "know" what is involved when they don't have a clue about the consequences if they get it wrong and manage to poison someone.

I was diagnosed as coeliac as a child so have had more than 50 years experience in gluten free cooking and baking and seen "experts" and "never fail" recipes come and go.

* just a few examples of gf flour, rice, tapioca, buckwheat, potato, sorghum, millet, soy, various bean flours and the list goes on and on. None alone would make an edible loaf you need to blend to get a flour that does what is needed. Different blends for different things.

EDIT Also you need gluten free yeast not just any yeast as many are grown on wheat or rye (both gluten grains of course) or contain "improver"which is also gluten based. Tesco own brand (just and example) is not gluten free.

I also noticed the recipe doesn't contain any gum so it will be very crumbly. Xanthan gum and / or physillium husk are staples of gluten free bread making. In normal times I might give it a try but not now with the prices of specialist ingredients (if you can get them at all) being so high.

What’s the best bread to make if you only have plain flour, got a bread maker somewhere as well?

Soda bread or flat bread. Both don't need strong flour and use Soda or Baking Powder as the raising agent. The bread maker will not be suitable unless you get some strong bread flour and instant yeast.

I have a glut of persimmons on my little tree so I have made three jars of Persimmon Marmalade. Then I found a recipe for Persimmon Spicy Loaf. (See photo). Unfortunately, hubby isn't allowed any because of the diet he's on so it will go straight into the freezer which has hardly any room in it because of all the apple pies and crumbles I made a couple of weeks ago.

Oh Nice! I notice the crimp is on the top, where it SHOULD be according to Ann @ Ann's Pasties, Lizard

(Mrs Chox just said would it be possible to have the recipe? I said it's probably a closely guarded secret!)

Sourdough Rye Bread ?

View attachment 377497View attachment 377499

Super tasty, super easy ??

So would I be correct in saying that it doesn't matter whether you make rye bread with sour dough or a normal yeast based one it still never rises much if you use only rye flour?
That's why my version on the other thread contains 50% dark rye flour & 50% strong white flour along with oat bran & porridge oats.

Carrot cake with pecans....

Recipe used all butter, rather than sunflower oil I've seen in other recipes. Tasty but a tad denser than ideal. I'll try again once I've burnt off the calories

Rye flour is very low on gluten which is why it is often combined with strong white flour to help gluten development and produce lighter and less dense bread. I like the ‘dense’ structure of pure rye bread along with the higher fibre content. It is simply a matter of personal choice?

Hi,
I'm sorry I don't know what your real name is & I too prefer 100% rye bread & do make it quite often but as it doesn't rise very much obviously down to rye flour's low gluten content I make my alternative version which still has a lot of fibre but produces a bit bigger loaf for making sandwiches etc. You've obviously got a lot of by experience baking bread so is it just a hobby or have you done it for a living at some point?
Thanks
Clive
