I created these breads and bread recipes to cope with my own multiple food allergies and sensitivities. After mastering and enjoying old fashioned sourdough rye bread I learned I was gluten intolerant and could no longer eat rye. I learned I was also allergic to eggs and dairy products.
Wanting to continue eating bread, I looked at the ingredients in retail gluten free breads and found there was at least one ingredient I needed to avoid in each one. If I was going to be able to eat bread I needed to be able to control the ingredients.
It's been so long since I baked in a loaf pan. This is just a simple recipe out of my Zo breadmachine book that I hand mixed useing 5 grain cereal mix and added some K.A. organic white wheat and Bread Flour, reduced the yeast and added a little sourdough. This is what I got...nice and tender sandwich loaf with a bit of fiber and a nice flavor.
Modified from Toxo Bread's Ale and Cheddar Bread which I found via Wild Yeast. As made they have a very faint beer flavor and a mild tang of sourdough. The cheese offers up surprise bites of salty goodness. I think if I were to make this again I'd replace some of the water in the final dough with beer for a stronger beer flavor, and possibly add more cheese, possibly sprinkled over the top half-way through baking as well.

If given the choice of any dessert I want, I almost always pick the cookie. I adore them. During the Holidays I tend to eat and bake so many cookies that I get a little tired of them and I can't stand to make them until Spring is fully underway.
One great way to relax is trying a new recipe:

This was created by accident. Meant to bake a 100% whole wheat loaf but must be dozing off when I added the remaining 30% flour to the sponge:

Forgot to take a picture before cutting it.
just cant seem to get the appearance id like. i think i am cutting too deep and not making a clean slice. accidently baked too long as well and i think i overproofed.
