Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Ok..here's a challenge..who can give me the best tasting GF bread recipe. I am desperate to make a sandwich that tastes like a sandwich! HELP. I've tried alot of breads and have not been satisfied. I just received my first betty hagaman cook book and she has several recipes in there, which is the best tasting? You know how it is when you put so much work into something and it comes out bad..you wanna cry!! I also tried Tinkyada noodles..and praise the lord!!!! They are so wonderful tasting!!!!!!!!!!! I recommend to everyone. If you live in NC...they now have them at the regular supermarket. Lowes Foods carries them. I would appreciate any help with the bread.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Not exactly a recipe, but I just tried the GFPantry Sandwich Bread mix in my bread machine and loved it! It did have a little bit of a sticky texture, but this might be due to the fact that I was cutting it without letting it cool much. (Just too curious to let it cool.) I first ate a piece with a piece of cheese. Then another piece with some different cheese. Then a piece with a little cherry jelly. Then a piece covered with all the cherry jelly I could fit. I forgot how much I like jelly. Then I left the house so I would not eat the whole loaf. Will have to see how it is today - after it has been cooled and in the fridge for a day. So far, I have had great success with the GFPantry mixes. Just don't taste the batter until it is cooked. For some reason, they always taste gross to me in the batter stage and I get so worried they will end up tasting bad - so far, not the case.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Does your Bette Hagman book have the 's Bagels recipe in it? If so, I highly recommend them, especially toasted! C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 We love her Seattle Sourdough bread, and my kids are VERY picky! We also like the Ruttledge bun recipe from the list. I bake that in mini cake pans to make sub-sandwhich type rolls. We prefer the sourdough toasted, but we ate the buns as hot dog buns at the beach last summer without toasting.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 WE LOVE LOVE LOVE GRANDMA " S BUNS!!! Yes I'm yelling! I found my last 3 Wilton pans at s (an arts and crafts store that has a cake decorating section). I didn't have any luck finding the last pack at Kroger. They were even cheaper too!! I can fit 11 on my large cookie sheet...the 12th one is a loner on the rest of the shelf. As a matter of fact, we found ourselves at a greek restaurant tonight for my inlaws 57th anniversary. They serve hot bread to dip in the olive oil and feta concoction. Matt and I looked at each other and said....wish we'd brought a bun! Gonna have to try that at home real soon! kathi --- Lauretta McInnis wrote: > " Grandma's buns " recipe was something we could all eat.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread, by Bette Hagman. To be honest, I haven't found much in it that piques my interest...the things I've tried are okay, but the best recipe for us by far is the 's Bagels recipe. My non-GF parents were here for Christmas and they were amazed at how " real " that recipe is. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Carol Fenster books are well worth a looksee - we've found bread recipes in her Cooking Free book that work better for us than many of the Hagman recipes - probably has to do with different flour mixes. -- n : jt@... http://jt-mj.net In the beautiful Finger Lakes Wine Country of New York State!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I was wondering about which book Kim had, 'cause she wanted recipe recommendations... It's interesting because I had tried one of Bette's bagels and thought I wasn't that crazy about them, and it also seemed like they were a lot of hassle to make. But, you are inspiring me to try them again. Maybe I tried a different bagel? Which book is 's bagels in? It took me a while to get into that book, but now that I have I've found some recipes that I really like. It is hard to beat her rapid french bread (from More) or her revised Bean crumpets... But from the bread book, our favorites have been the quinoa (A surprise!), featherlights, etc. I like the sourdoughs as well, but I had trouble with my starter going OH SO BAD. I guess i didn't stir it frequently enough and it got white mold and freakiness going on. How do you all store your starter? I like to keep it around but considering I will use it at most once a week, it's easy for things to go sadly awry. PS While I love Bette's breads, as well as her biscotti, her desserts (excluding pie) have, for the most part, not been to my taste, and some of her main dishes are just plain weird (tomato veggie jello casserole comes to mind, eugh). But, I can forgive her anything for her breads and crumpets etc. > > I have The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread, by Bette Hagman.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Love her pizza crust! Not such great luck with her muffins and breads, but I ought to give her another try one of these days. > > Carol Fenster books are well worth a looksee - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 She does have a few bagel recipes. The only one I like is the 's Bagels one...you may have tried a different one! C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I just keep the starter in an air tight container on the counter, and I stir it at least once a day. You also have to keep up with it though by taking some out and putting new flour in at least weekly even if you don't bake with it. At this point I'm making 2-3 loaves a week. At some point I'm sure I'll need to start new starter, but for now it's working really well. I have to also say that we love Bette's bean flour english muffins from " Bakes Bread " . We can make fabulous eggs bennedict with those! Yum. Sue in Denver > > I like the sourdoughs as well, but I had trouble > with my starter going OH SO BAD.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you want sourdough but don't cook it often, you have to make a new batch of starter every time. No big deal, except you must plan the day ahead to take a few seconds to mix the starter up. There is no culinary law that says you aren't allowed to make sourdough unless you baby a starter with a pedigree. best wishes Chris ----- Original Message ----- I like the sourdoughs as well, but I had trouble with my starter going OH SO BAD.
