GLUTEN-FREE MULTIGRAIN MIRACLE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F.
• Sift the flours, yeast and all other dry ingredients together into a medium bowl. Stir in flax meal and combine.
• Combine the wet ingredients in a separate large bowl using a hand-mixer on low or medium speed. When fully combined, slowly add dry ingredient mixture and mix until fully blended, with no lumps. Scrape the sides regularly.
• Grease a 9x5" bread pan, and pour the dough into the pan. Turn off the oven and immediately place the pan in it. Do not open the door again, if possible. Allow the dough to rise for 90 minutes. It should rise to the very top of the pan.
• Increase heat to 350F and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The crust should be golden-brown. Allow to cool slightly before removing it from the pan to finish cooling. Do not slice until the bread is no longer hot.
• This loaf does not need to be frozen, but if there are leftovers after a few days, place slices in airtight bags and freeze.

GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE MIRACLE SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey and the warm water; mix until the honey is dissolved. Sprinkle in the yeast and give it a quick stir to combine. Allow to proof for 10 minutes (set a timer!) - NO more, NO less time. Make sure you have the other wet and dry ingredients mixed and ready to go when the 10 minutes are up!
• Using a heavy duty mixer, combine the dry ingredients.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vinegar.
• When the yeast is done proofing, add the wet ingredients to the dry. Stir until it's a little paste-like, then add the yeast mixture. Using your mixer's low speed setting, mix for about 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl then mix on medium for about 2 minutes or until the dough is smooth. (You may need to stop your mixer and scrape the sides of your bowl a few more times.).
• Pour dough into a parchment lined and well greased 9 x 5" bread pan and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 45-60 minutes (Check the loaf 30 minutes into rising. When the dough is close to hitting the plastic wrap, remove it; allow the dough to rise the remaining time uncovered.) When the dough is just starting to crest the top of the pan, bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 375 degrees (F) oven.
• Remove loaf from pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
• Enjoy it!

THE MIRACLE BOULE

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups/375 ml water to blend. What you'll have is a wet, shaggy, sticky dough, but not so wet as to be batter. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let it rest in a warm place for at least 12 hours, and up to 24 hours. It's ready for the next step when the surface is dotted with bubbles.
• Flour a work surface and dump the dough out onto it. Sprinkle over a little more flour and fold it once or twice. Cover with the tea towel and let rest 15 minutes.
• Using only enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers, shape the dough into a ball. Coat a cotton towel with cornmeal, wheat bran or flour and lay the dough on it, seam-side down. Dust with more cornmeal, wheat bran or flour. (You need quite a lot because you want to be sure the dough doesn't stick to the towel). Cover and let rise for about 2 hours. When ready, the dough will be more than double in size.
• Half an hour before the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F/230 degrees C. Put a 2-liter cast-iron pot or Dutch oven (cocotte) inside to heat.
• When the dough is ready, remove the pot from the oven and turn the dough into it, seam-side up. (It will look messy, but this is OK.) Shake the pot to settle the bread evenly. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake until the loaf is nicely browned, another 15 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack.

• 2. Combine the 2 cups warm water, 2 T melted butter or oil and 2 tsp salt with yeast water.
• 3. Mix in six cups of flour. Stir well by hand or mixer equipped with dough hook. If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
• 4. Form into a ball. Place in greased bowl and roll dough to grease the top of the dough.
• 5. Let rise for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature. It should expand to double it's size. ( i covered my bowl)
• 6. Divide dough in half and roll out as you would pie dough.
• 7. Roll up as a jelly roll. Place it on a greased baking sheet. ( I sprinkled a little corn meal on the cookie sheet)
• 8. Make diagonal slits across the top with a sharp knife.
• 9. Do the same with second ball of dough. Let rise about 1 hour or until double in size.
• 10. Beat 1 egg and 2 T milk. Brush egg mixture over top of bread. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
• 11. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Try to let it cool before cutting into the loaf! Bet you can't! This bread is awesome with butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder!
• 12. Note: She stated in the blog that "The dough can be used in a variety of ways. I'll demonstrate a long French type loaf, perfect for garlic bread. But you can put this dough in loaf pans or even make cinnamon rolls with it."
