Do you remember the first time you made bread? I was at secondary school and it was pretty much standard that you had to do bread week in cookery as a ‘staple’ skill. We were taught all about the properties of yeast and the importance of good kneading to get good bread. The instructions were to think of something that made you feel really angry and take it out on the dough by kneading as hard as you could. Not just a cookery lesson, but therapy as well………..

I got an ‘A’ for my bread which was only matched by the boy who’s parents ran the local bakers. Either I was a natural or very angry!

The bread we made was white….. shaped into lovely round rolls which were soft and fluffy on the inside and crusty on the outside. They smelt amazing from the point of adding the yeast to being devoured warm, by our hungry class. From that point on, making bread by hand (although not a frequent event) was nostalgic, therapeutic and something to be relished.

These days, being gluten free has made kneading dough a thing of the past. Gluten free bread is not something that requires kneading (there being no gluten to develop), and good gluten free bread can be pretty elusive. Yet it is something that I now have to make lots of, so I am always striving to develop better and get closer to the bread I remember eating when I had no dietary cares.

Those of you out there who don’t experience gluten intolerance may not understand what it means to give up normal bread, but it was hard…… really hard! Something which is so much a part of every day life, from sandwiches to dinner rolls, pizza bases to breakfast toast, burger buns and hot dogs to baguettes for lunch………….. suddenly all of that changes. And then you are searching…… trying to find the brand or the bake to fill that empty hole.

The rolls in this post are the result of a process which has gone through several prototypes, lots of flour tweaking and three alternative measurements of yeast. But I am as proud of them as I was when I got that ‘A’. These rolls actually taste like bread……. Real bread! The type that I used to eat in the days when gluten was fine and I could eat ‘normal’ bread in abundance. Really!

I am now making a couple of batches a week, because not only are they great for lunch, but I can make them long enough to fit sausages, and my daughter is thrilled that she can now have a decent hot dog. The flavour is quite neutral (as white bread should be), so goes well topped with just about anything. The texture is soft and quite airy on the inside, but with a nice crusty edge. The smell of them when cooking and the taste when eaten, takes me straight back to that class room…………… fresh baked bread……..

I reckon that as white bread goes, they are also pretty healthy! A good blend of flours with some almonds thrown in for good measure……….. a little olive oil and dairy as well as gluten free. Give them a go………. you might be pleasantly surprised…………….

White Bread Rolls

Ingredients              

120g tapioca flour
70g white rice flour
90g potato flour
70g cornflour
60g fine ground polenta
60g ground almonds
1½ teaspoons xanthan gum
1½ teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon caster sugar
21g easy bake yeast (I used Allinsons)
355 ml warm water (hand temperature)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  1. Get ready a couple of baking sheets – lining them with baking paper.
  2. Weigh and mix together in a large bowl all the flours, polenta, almonds, xanthan gum and salt, making sure any lumps are completely broken down.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, weigh the yeast and sugar.
  4. Measure the water into a jug, checking the temperature is hand-warm.
  5. Pour the water onto the yeast and sugar and whisk until combined and bubbly. Leave for about 10 minutes to allow to ferment.
  6. Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and then add the yeast mixture.
  7. Mix and bring together the dough using either a flat knife or the back of a silicone spoon. Continue to gently ‘knead’ using the knife/spoon until smooth and evenly combined. The mixture should be a thick dough consistency which holds its shape yet drops off the spoon.
  8. Drop large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet and using either the back of a silicone spoon or dampen an ordinary spoon, shape the dough mounds into roll shapes. You can make these slightly larger, long, round or any other shape you fancy.
  9. Place the tray in a warm place, cover with a clean cloth and leave the rolls to rise for about 45 minutes.
  10. Pre-heat the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas 6.
  11. When well-risen, glaze the rolls with a wash of milk or egg using a pastry brush.
  12. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  13. When cooked, cool the rolls on a wire rack.
  14. If you plan to freeze any, do this as soon as they are cold to keep them as fresh as possible.

    This is one I'd definitely like to give a go. Do you think they would make good burger buns?

      I'd eat a burger in them and you could definitely get them the right shape….. but if you make them see what you think and let me know how you get on!

Perfect Panna Cotta. Sweet with Vanilla. With the Perfect Panna Cotta. Sweet with Vanilla. With the desired ‘wobble’ and drizzled with beautiful, tangy Berry Coulis. 🍓
Being a Coeliac household, it’s a favourite dessert. It’s also one of the rare desserts that isn’t a gluten free brownie when you eat out... I miss eating out!
How’s everyone else doing? What are you most missing with lockdown?
It’s so long since restaurants were allowed to open here. We didn’t really come out of lockdown after the summer... I really feel for the local businesses ☹️
But in the absence of dinner out... We just have to make our own Panna Cotta. 
Creamy, meaty, super smooth... 
Who’s with me?
The recipe is on the blog... follow the link from my profile (lnk.bio).

A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These are my gluten free Bourbon Biscuits. Optional Dairy Free and Vegan.
I worked hard to get the recipe right. It took many goes and many tweaks to achieve the texture and flavour that is so Bourbon-iconic.
That’s a lot of ingredients. A lot of ‘getting it wrong’… until I was ‘getting it right’. 
It takes a lot of effort and determination to create recipes that work and work well… And that are at least as good as their glutenous counterparts.
Imagine my utter FRUSTRATION when I found that someone had taken my recipe and (having changed one simple ingredient… removing the ‘pinch of salt’ from the biscuit dough), claimed it as their own… The only credit given to me was that they had been ‘inspired’ by my recipe. 
Even worse… they posted the FULL RECIPE on Instagram, Facebook and heaven only knows where else. 
They made a video for Instagram which has had over 7,000 views. They posted it on Facebook (without any mention of Gluten Free Alchemist initially)…That was another reach of thousands. 
I have received NOTHING from their extreme ‘generosity’ in sharing my recipe. Not even a direct link to my website, from which I am trying to make a living following redundancy.
I’m not going to name and shame (although frankly as a commercial organisation they should have known better)… But INTEGRITY is important.
If you take a recipe from someone else… Give them FULL CREDIT. If you tweak a recipe with small alterations… Still give them FULL CREDIT. Be sure to direct people to the original website post where the recipe can be found in full. 
As a recipe developer, you are at the whim of the integrity and honesty of others not to steal your work. People who take without asking and without any gratitude destroy trust and faith.
Thank you for reading xx

I promised the recipe for my gluten free VIENNESE I promised the recipe for my gluten free VIENNESE FINGERS ages ago. But it slipped my mind and I forgot to post them. I’m SO sorry. 🙈🙈
Oh well... better later than never I guess. And hopefully this one was worth waiting for. 
Although they can be a little tricky to make, Viennese Fingers are super-light and totally melt-in-the-mouth delicious. 😍
Add a chocolate-dipped end and they are even more heavenly 💜
