GLUTEN FREE BROWN BREAD

Steps:

• Grease and line a standard 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan or a 1 1/2-pound Pullman loaf pan and set it aside.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the flour, xanthan gum, teff, oat flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, sugar and yeast.
• Whisk with a separate handheld whisk to combine well. Add the salt and whisk again to combine.
• Add the butter, vinegar, molasses, egg whites and milk, and mix on low speed with the paddle attachment until the dough starts to come together, then mix on high for about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a wet spatula. Cover the dough with oiled with plastic wrap or the top of the Pullman pan.
• Place the covered pan in a warm, draft-free area to rise until the dough is about 150% of its original volume.
• When the dough is nearly finished rising, preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Remove the plastic wrap and place the loaf pan in the center of the preheated oven. Remove the plastic wrap. If using a Pullman pan, keep the cover in place.
• If using a standard loaf pan, bake for about 30 minutes or until the loaf is firm enough to take out of the pan.
• If using a Pullman pan, bake for 40 minutes before removing the pan cover.
• In both cases, remove the bread from the loaf pan and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. Return the bread on the pan to the oven, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
• Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

GLUTEN-FREE EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAD

Steps:

• For the onion topping: Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Once the pan is nice and hot, add the coconut oil and the onions and stir frequently until translucent and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Set the onions aside. Combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt in a small bowl.
• For the bread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides of the pan. This will make it much easier to lift the bread out of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, dried onion flakes, poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, fine salt, baking soda and caraway. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the egg whites and cream of tartar (if you don't have a stand mixer an electric beater will suffice). Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, coconut oil and lemon juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet egg mixture in 3 small batches, making sure to thoroughly combine the dry mixture and the egg mixture each time. The batter will look like a very thick paste. Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong. Just make sure to break up any clumps of flour with a rubber spatula to ensure that the dry and wet ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Add a third of the whipped egg whites to the batter and slowly fold them in. This won't be a very easy task, take your time and know that eventually they'll combine. Add another third of the egg whites and fold. Finally, add the remaining egg whites and fold together; there should not be any chunks of batter left but the batter will never completely combine (white and yellow portions will remain).
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the batter with the sauteed onions and half the seed mixture. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use a knife to release the sides and lift the bread out using the parchment paper. Cool completely, about another 30 minutes.
• For the toast: Cut yourself a 1-inch slice of bread and give it a thin coat of cream cheese. Top with a layer of crispy cucumbers, and if you feel like it, top it with some of the reserved seed mixture!

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.
