Gluten Free Bread

This bread recipe is so simple to make. The outcome was surprisingly moist! Fed some to the kids this morning with my homemade butter and a little jam and they loved it. Unlike most other GF breads this one is soft. Have made the kids school sandwiches from this today and prepped them to tell their teachers 'my mummy made this is in Thermomix!'

Ingredients

220g Rice Flour (milled from white or brown rice in the TM)
120g Buckwheat Flour
140g Tapioca or Arrowroot Flour
1 tsp guar gum
1 sachet dried yeast
1 heaped tsp Himalayan salt (milled in the TM)
15g Rapadura Sugar
300g luke warm water
30g Macadamia oil
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
3 egg whites

Method

Place dry ingredients into bowl and mix for 15 seconds on speed 4.

Place water, oil, vinegar and egg whites into the bowl and mix for 20 seconds on speed 5-6 or until combined.

Tip mixture into a greased and lined bread tin and allow to rise for 15 minutes in a warm position.

Bake in Moderate oven 180 degrees for 40 minutes or until cooked.











Butter in the Thermomix

This recipe is certainly going back to basics, good old fashioned butter the way it should be, pure cream and no additives! Who knows what they really put into the butter these days, it seems to last forever and also has a very distinct colour. I am more than happy to spread a little of this on my bread and daily for the kids lunches.

Ingredients

500-600 ml pure cream (not thickened)

Method

Place butterfly into TM Bowl.
Add cream and blend for 1-3 minutes to separate* on speed 4. 
Once separated, strain the buttermilk carefully. Remove Butterfly. Place 500g of cold water into TM bowl and mix for 5-10 seconds on speed 4.
Strain liquid again through the basket and you are left with your butter. Butter will last approximately 2 weeks when stored in the refrigerator. Add oil and mix which will keep it soft in the fridge.

Buttermilk can be used in preparation of scones, when making breads or in drinks.

Once butter is ready, you can add flavours eg. herbs, salt or olive oil etc. Mix in for 30 seconds on speed 4.

*The separating process takes between 1 and 3 minutes depending on the freshness of the cream.
