Rhythm & Blues

Getting into the rhythm of making breads Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Slowly & surely making progress.

To answer “why a bread machine”, have a choice between that & a toaster oven. No stove, no range, no oven... yet; long story.

Today’s “Arts & Sciences” project is the GF Sourdough English Muffin Loaf. Been playing with different measures of flours & liquids in very small batches. Only enough to make two or three muffins.

Muffins have been tasty; made on an electric crepe skillet. Knew that’d come in handy one day, HaHa. We ate them before I even thought to take pix.

Bread takes longer to cool *wink*. Prime photo shoot subject.

Mr deMille...

Turned out of bread machine tin. Sliced after cooling several hours. Modest crumb texture, resilient to the tooth untoasted. Subtle sourdough flavour blending nicely with ivory teff & cassava flours. Will use a fork to separate a piece & toast tomorrow. Interested to see those results.

I would be interested in seeing your recipe. The bubble dispersion is very nice but the crumb looks a bit moist. Any psyllium or gums in the mix?

That’s high praise! (You & Mini Oven are a wealth of gluten-free doughs knowledge.)

I cut the loaf while still quite warm & it _was_ steamy/moisty. By next morning, it was better set up; nice for toasting or eating as a sandwich.

Yes, 5-g psyllium husk powder by TerraSoul. Added & mixed into dry ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 320-g Cassava Flour
  • 110-g Buckwheat Flour
  • 24-g Buttermilk Powder
  • 5-g Psyllium Powder
  • 16-g Grey Sea Salt, reserved
  • 100-g Tepid Water
  • 1-tsp Sorghum Syrup
  • 300-g Buckwheat Sourdough
  • 200-g plus Water, reserved
  • 1-T Ghee, reserved

Any & all hints, tips & suggestions are greatly appreciated. These are my first forays into Celiacs Friendly yeast/sourdough breads.

p.s. 16-g Grey Sea Salt may seem a lot, it’s about 1/4-t measure.
