Gluten Free Bread 101

Gluten Free Bread 101 is delicious and easy to make gluten-free bread. Now, every time I make it, I can’t believe how easy it is to make. All I needed were the right tools, patiences and help from mom. At least that is what I found to be true for me. You see I have made dozens of gluten free breads and never truly satisfied with my results. I, the daughter of a bread maker, could not make bread!

So I decided to call my mother and have her help me to create this recipe. Now the reason I did not call her sooner was because she also was trying to perfect a gluten-free bread recipe. She had mastered the skill about a year ago and now makes her bread with fruit and nuts or cheese. Yes, my mother is a perfect baker. Not to mentioned she was married to a bread-baker so she knows bread better then most people. I found it interesting that she was trying to make gluten – free bread just for the challenge of it. She always reminds me when I am disappointed with a recipe with this insight,”Before it comes out perfect you need to make a few flops, that’s what makes you become a good cook.”

So before we get started, you will need a few things:

• A mixer that is as powerful as a KitchenAid Mixer on High
• A alumni bread pan
• And most of all, high quality milk ( should taste like cream )

These 3 things have changed the whole bread making experience to a higher level for me. Just like a carpenter needs his tools so does the cook. And yes, what you buy will make a difference when you cook. I can’t say enough about the Kitchen Aid Mixer, it’s truly what makes everything better when I bake. Once you have one, you can’t imagine why you waited so long to get one. It’s the one mixer for a lifetime. I have had mine for 15 years and it’s still as strong as the first day I bought it.
