Everyday Bread

Erin wanted to start baking bread with the little one every week, so I came up with this good everyday bread recipe. It's not a soft bread but works well for bread and butter with tea, or sandwiches. And the added flax gives it a little extra fiber and whole grain taste. I'm going to work on a soft bread next.

Everyday Bread:

Dry:

• 1 cup gluten free oat flour (we grind oats in a coffee grinder)
• 2 cups brown rice flour
• 1 cup white rice flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 1/2 cup potato starch
• 1/4 cup ground flax
• 1 tsp. xantham gum
• 1 tsp. salt

Wet:

• 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbs. oil
• 1 Tbs. honey
• 1 egg
• 2 cups warm water
• 1 Tbs. yeast

Directions:

1. Mix dry ingredients.
2. Mix all wet ingredients except yeast.
3. Add yeast (sprinkle on top of wet ingredients) and let sit until foamy, about five minutes.
4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
5. Beat well for about five minutes.
6. Put in warm place, covered with wet towel, for about an hour and a half.
7. Pour batter into greased bread pan.
8. Place in a cold oven and heat to 350 degrees.
9. Bake for about an hour and a half, till brown and crusty.
10. Let cool on wire rack.

The pea soup request is up next. Followed by my famous granola. Thanks for all your requests.
