photo by scificc
- Ready In:
- 3hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
ingredients
- 4 cups kamut flour
- 2 teaspoons salt (I think this can be safely reduced, I like salt!)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup honey
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm water
- 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
directions
- Combine the first three dry ingredients (flour, salt, xanthan gum).
- Combine the liquid ingredients (oil, honey, water) in a microwaveable bowl. Warm in microwave using 30 second increments until you can mix the liquids. Do not overheat - warm to the touch is best - hot water will kill the yeast.
- Add the liquid ingredients, dry ingredients, and yeast in the order specified by your bread machine manufacturer (mine is liquid on bottom, dry next, and yeast on top).
- Use a basic bread and light crust setting.
- Enjoy!

Whoa! Please do not call this “wheat free.” Kamut IS wheat. Definitely easier to digest and great for people like me who have trouble with standard wheat. But calling this “wheat free” is problematic for people who can’t eat gluten. Kamut, aka khorasan, wheat is NOT gluten-free and IS wheat. Strongly recommend you alter the title.

This is very close to a version of Kamut bread I've made before, except this one doesn't call for flax. I use ground golden flax because it's a great binder. It gets very sticky and adhesive like xanthum, so when you use it you don't need as much xanthum. RobL--your warning is good for celiacs, but my whole family is gluten sensitive and kamut happens to be a winner for us, with how low the gluten is and how much simpler the chains are. It's funny because we don't do that great with oat, spelt or barley, but kamut works, somehow. I guess instead of "gluten intolerant" we would be considered "gluten sensitive."
