Thank you so much nzbadger - havent had any since I went GF - so going to have to make that.

gr8stuf4me - 2012-05-31 16:14:00

Has anyone tried Laucke gluten free bread made from a mix. You can get it from Bin Inn, is $9.95 a pkt which makes 2 loaves and is by far the best gluten free bread around. Easy to make and keeps fresh for days.

Hi Boots,is is LSA,linseed,sesame and almond.
It is a mixture you buy at the supermarket,or you can grind them yourself.

earthangel4 - 2012-06-06 11:39:00

LSA is linseed(flaxseed) sunflower seeds and almonds ground to a meal.
It is available at most supermarkets in the specialist or flour section.
I buy it at Bin Inn.

I am not experienced enough with GF baking to recommend a substitute, but with only 3 tbsps required you could try any combination of seeds and nuts.
It's a matter of working out how absorpant the meal is, so that you get the quantity of fluids correct.

I have made this loaf and found it to be very dense. I slice it like bread and I don't think I could have eaten the whole thing like a burger bun.

Hi.
I might have an easy bread recipe to post.
I have been fiddling with the 'no knead' bread in Recipes.
Is ok, but needs a little tweaking.
Cheap and easy.

So pleased with this recipe- it's a fast and tasty little marvel!
I used one and a half times the amount of dry ingredients, as initially it was too "eggy" for me. Also added 1 tsp caraway seeds and a little mixed spice to make a sweet bun. Cooked it in two smaller batches.
Will try a savoury version sometime. Fantastic little recipe.
Much gratitude to the inventor.

Gluten free Breadmaker Bread Make up the bread mix first: 4 cups white rice flour, 1½ cups potato flour, 2/3rd cup tapioca flour(Recipe says it makes 4 loaves but it makes a very small loaf so I one and a half times the recipe that follows and cook for the same time). One loaf: 2 cups gluten free mix, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp xanthan gum, 1 tsp salt, 1 ½ tsp active dry yeast, 1 cup lukewarm milk or milk alternative, 2 tbsp oil, 2 eggs, or 4 tsp egg replacer and ¼ cup water and 1 tbsp linseeds, 1 tsp cider vinegar. Sift dry ingredients, add yeast Blend milk oil eggs or egg replacer and vinegar. Add to dry ingredients, mix to combine. Press into bread pan. Close lid, bake following breadmaker instructions for a white loaf(about 3 hours) Cut when cold and freeze in slices unless going to eat. Do not double recipe as it overflows pan only use one and a half times the mix for a 1kg loaf. :) Here is another from Melford.

Has anyone tried the new 'Macro' GF range available at Countdown.?
I have just used the plain flour with favourable results.

Made a lovely chai scented cake, cheese pastry wrapped olives, and a pastry for the top of a meat pie.

Have seen it here in count down,have not tried them yet.
Do you know how much sugar is in the recipe?

earthangel4 - 2012-08-14 08:41:00

No added sugar in the flour, EA.

If you are meaning the cake - I adapted this recipe.
Just exchanged the spelt for Macro plain flour, and carob for cocoa.

http://www.wildhealthfood.com/low-glycemic-chai-spice-cake

I don't know what you're dietary requirements are apart from Gluten and sugar free.
I used no sugar in the cake, but my apple sauce was homemade and did have a bit of sugar in it.

Melt butter, GS in a large pot or large bowl in microwave, add rest of ingredients.

It's amazing!
I agree, there is nothing in there that I wouldn't make.
Ideal family baking.

I have made the short sweet pastry so far - it got the thumbs up from the gluten eating members of this family.

I am going to make the custard buns and spicy fruit loaf over the weekend.

Sarah owns the Gluten free store in Auckland. If you are on FB you can leave her a message or ask any questions that come up about the recipes.

We've cut the oil quantity down to a quarter of a cup, and it's nicer- thought it was too oily with half a cup.
