Bread Making



I know my kids will not be happy eating rabbit food. I have guaranteed them they will have bread and some baked products!!
I did a little bread making research and then visited our local store (Market Basket) to see what they offered.
To my surprise they have a pretty good sized selection of Gluten Free Bob's Red Mill products.
(www.bobsredmill.com) It can also be mail ordered.
There are lots of options for gluten free - Just be sure to read the ingredients and stay away from any with sugar.
At first I made bread using the All Purpose Flour. This involved buying other ingredients as well.
The bread was good - kid and husband approved!
Next time I saw GF Homemade Bread Mix.
This was much easier. It even has a yeast pack inside.
All you do is add the yeast to warm milk and let it rise for 5 to 10 minutes.
You add the mix, eggs, melted butter and salt together and then the yeast mixture.
Put it in the mix master and blend- then place it in a bread pan- 9x5
Let it rise 30 minutes until it is as high as the pan.
Bake for 60 minutes.
Done.
My kids(and husband) cannot wait the 15 minutes until it cools.

And here is an interesting note-
Initially everyone had a slice - with butter.
Later the kids said they were hungry.
I made ham and cheese sandwiches using THE bread - around 2:00pm.
When dinner time approached - No one was hungry. The bread has so much substance and the body is taking longer burn, raising the metabolism and keeping the blood sugars level as opposed to rising fast and crashing. Bingo!

Weigh in tomorrow
