GLUTEN-FREE FLATBREAD (1 BOWL, 20 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl add light coconut milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar and whisk to combine.
• Add baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano and whisk to combine. The mixture will likely fluff up and foam from the reaction of the baking powder and apple cider vinegar. This is normal and good!
• Next, add coconut flour, oat flour, and potato starch and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Let rest 5 minutes uncovered.
• At this point you should have a dough that is malleable and very slightly tacky but doesn't stick to your hands. The dough should start pulling away from the sides of the bowl when the right amount of moisture is achieved, and it shouldn't be crumbly at all. Add a bit more of each flour until you reach the right consistency.
• Scoop out 1 ball of dough (~3 Tbsp in size) and place between two pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll into a thin oval shape slightly larger than 1/8-inch thick. For fluffier, thicker flatbread roll to slightly less than 1/4-inch thick and cook slightly longer. NOTE: If sticking or too tacky, add a light dusting of GF flour to the dough while rolling out (optional - shouldn't be necessary).
• Heat a skillet (cast iron is best, or non-stick) over medium/medium-high heat. Once hot, spray or drizzle with a little oil. Then use hands to carefully transfer the dough to the pan. If it cracks at all, just carefully and quickly patch back together with your hands (be careful not to touch the hot skillet).
• Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the underside is golden brown. Bubbles may form while it's cooking - that's normal and good. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Lower heat as needed to ensure it doesn't burn. You'll know it's done when both sides are golden brown.
• Repeat this process until all dough is used (~6 large or 10-12 mini flatbreads as the original recipe is written).
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. To freeze, place cooked, cooled flatbread in a freezer-safe container or bag (adding parchment paper between each flatbread will prevent sticking) and freeze for up to 1 month. As with most bread, best when fresh.
• To serve, either heat from frozen in a toaster oven, thaw overnight and then heat in a skillet, or microwave from frozen until warm.

GLUTEN-FREE BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and oil. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry to make a sticky dough.
• Grease a 900g loaf tin, or flour a baking sheet. With oiled hands, shape the dough into a sausage shape for a loaf or a ball for a cob. If making a loaf, place the dough in the tin. For a cob, place it on the baking sheet and score the top with a sharp knife. Cover loosely with a piece of oiled cling film and leave somewhere warm for 1 hr, or until risen by a third or so.
• Bake for 50-60 mins until golden and well risen. Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool for at least 20 mins before cutting.

EASY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve egg substitute in warm water. Place all ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Whole Wheat cycle and Regular bake time; press Start.
• After 5 minutes, check how the dough is kneading, it may need either 1 tablespoon of flour or 1 tablespoon of water, depending on the consistency. Once the bread is done, allow it time to cool on a wire rack before cutting.

BASIC BREAD (WHEAT FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan by greasing.
• Using a food processor, combine the almond flour, garbanzo bean flour, flaxseeds, baking soda, the optional cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until well blended. Add the egg yolks, butter, buttermilk, and xylitol or stevia and pulse just until blended.
• Add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl and beat on high with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Pour into the flour mixture and pulse until the egg whites are evenly distributed, avoiding running the machine at a constant speed. Spread into the pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely.
