Gluten Free Oatmeal Bread

"This is a very simple yeast bread recipe from Allergy Cooking With Ease, with no other flours than oat flour (grind oats in your blender). It turned out a little like a sponge bread in texture, but had a nice flavor and did not crumble when slicing. Has a bit of a sweet flavor (I used honey). I have tried a few gluten free breads, and this one turned out great on the first try. Didn't rise as much as I liked, but I'm wondering if that's because I used regular yeast, not quick-rise."

  1. I replaced guar gum with same amount of flaxseed. My "dough" was more of a batter but I allowed it to rise, and it did, firming up a bit. I gave it anither 3 minute beat as instructed and this time it rose level with the bread pan. Ready to bake! Unfortunately, it caved in the center. The flavor is good. The bread is dense. Not sure why I had a batter vs dough following the recipe all but for the guar gum. I cut the loaf into 8 slices, a total of 207 calories per slice. Maybe I will try again.
     
  2. I followed the recipe and found it very sticky as well. I did add some savory items (sundried tomatoes and rosemary). I used the fast-rise yeast as well. It did rise and then I transferred ti to my loaf pans and cooked it. I guess I should have let it rise in the loaf pans. It was heavy and flat. I'll keep tweaking...
     
  3. I was drawn to the recipe because it is gluten free, egg-free and lactose free. It was simple enough to put together, except the dough was rather sticky to handle. On this account i was skeptical. However the bread turned out very nicely, not breaking and very sponge like as mentioned. I used fast rise yeast and it also didnt rise too much so i dont think the type of yeast makes the different. The only thing I didnt like was the sweet taste, its rather overpowering. I will cut the amount of sugar into half next time. I used dark brown organic sugar.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
