This is my first attempt to make gluten free bread from scratch. I made the gluten free breads from Simple Mills box. Those are good, but I grew up making muffins, cakes and brownies by scratch. I used a recipe on a blog I found on Pinterest. I was not sure if I made this correctly. The directions slightly confused me, because I am not familiar with all of these different flours.

Tapioca flour, rice flour, psyllium husk. And the list can go on!
The Flours
I decided to use 1 to 1 Bob’s Red Mill baking Flour, Not knowing if this was a good substitute, when the recipe stated “substitute it for regular flour. So I didn’t use the tapioca flour or the psyllium husk.
Time will tell if I used the correct flour.
Recipe
It was simple to put together and mix. But I found it needed more water. I couldn’t shape it in a ball. I added a little olive oil in bowl too.
Put it in a bowl with cling wrap to tighten it so it can rise. I put mine with towels around it in front of my electric fireplace.
Section off 5 pieces and roll in a ball. Put back in the covered bowl for 10-20 mins.
It was a FLOP
So it was a flop. I am not surprised. I think it was the flour mixture.. the blog I was reading was thorough and organized. Not at all the writers fault. I need to learn how to bake gluten free!
What’s Next?
I ordered gluten free cookbooks about making bread and baking. I need to understand these flours.
The challenge of gluten free, soy free and dairy free is learning how to make recipes and relearning recipes without those ingredients.
Lunch
Here’s what I had for lunch instead.
Broccoli salad with tomatoes and spinach and arugula, hamburger, and toast with bruschetta.
Happy Day
